| Ayn is dead, she died in her bed
|
| At the end of a terrible illness
|
| Her oxygen berth untethered from earth
|
| She drifted up into the stillness
|
| Eleven years later, good old Yul Brenner
|
| Found himself there in the ether
|
| Dead Ayn Rand took Yul by the hand
|
| And said, how does it feel to be free
|
| Meanwhile on the planet the devil’s still at it
|
| Making a killing churning out addicts
|
| Everybody everywhere sucking in Ayn’s air
|
| Atlas choking
|
| Big tobacco sent flowers around
|
| With a note and basket of options
|
| If you know what’s good for you hold on to these
|
| Cause everything’s going to go up up up
|
| Greenspan and Stockman leading the horsemen
|
| The party was just getting started
|
| The Marlboro man rode into Japan
|
| And looked over the water to China
|
| All over the planet the devil’s still at it
|
| Making a killing churning out addicts
|
| Everybody everywhere sucking in Ayn’s air
|
| Atlas choking
|
| Rational greed, the national creed
|
| Will keep things smoking along
|
| So keep watching those shares, but don’t you dare share
|
| The poor are that way for good reason
|
| So everyone hush, utopia’s flush
|
| And beckoning off in the long-run
|
| Meanwhile on the planet the devil’s still at it
|
| Making a killing churning out addicts
|
| Everybody everywhere sucking in Ayn’s air
|
| Atlas choking |
