Inequality in Blue
Let’s talk about your fetish
Your whip to flog the rich
For you just heard from Piketty
Inequality’s a bitch.
Equality would make you happy [is what you think]
But that’s just plenty of thin air
Your theory is quite scrappy
Cause then we would be poor
You think it’s going to the wealthy
But that’s fallacy of the lump
It would be much more healthy
If you threw it in the dump.
You think the rich have stolen
The things that they own
And that’s the reason they hole in
While are others just groan.
You see justice in percentage
Like proportion heaven-made
But that belief is expensive
Weighing down on daily trade.
Would you welcome the levellers
Epidemics, major wars
I prefer the income swellers
People crowding in the stores.
Inequality’s your fetish
But not a very sexy kind
Never listen to Pikketys
For they tend to make you blind.
