on Wall Street they eat their young
[release 0.0]

   the mongrel dogs on wall street
   hunt in packs of five
   kill in formations of twelve
   eat their young in the month of october
   play arbitrage on pinball machines
   play derivatives on lcd screens
   play ipo with aunt martha from kansas
   hong kong, tokyo, london, new york
   russian roulette on the ethernet
   park their money in overnight euro cd's

   "let's make a deal", said the alpha male
   500 shares of IBM, 100 options on YHOO
   quants and atoms and technical analysis
   "i'll show you the charts !"

   the day traders from catholic convents
   await the slaughter of the pig
   fat middle aged men wearing dockers
   move in and out on the tick
   timing the market 
   between urinal breaks, doughnuts, 
   coffee, and cnbc
   fat pigs with cellulite brains
   playing russian roulette with an empty gun
   methodist choirboys with vinyl sofas
   shopping for bargains on 42nd street

   the mongrel dogs on wall street
   eat their young in the month of june
   pre-cambrian vultures flying cessnas to greenwich
   stalk their prey with night vision goggles
   mongol sharpshooters in bmw's
   who hold short their missionary positions

   the day traders from florida keys
   wake to the opening bell at 9:30
   watch the realtime quote 
   waiting for the correction
   the technical blip that signals
   the carnivores to the blood frenzy
   the blood bath and the orgy
   but mr. jones,
   there is no correction today
   your aol and xon are on a downslide
   walmart did not make their quarterly
   target.
