Listen Up! Today's Versus Parody Contains Adult Language!

Last warning! Ol' Marcy Shaffer took off the gloves with today's lyrics aimed at the Masters of the Universe on Greed Street. If you will turn into a pillar of salt upon reading street language, go no further. If this is (fair & balanced) rapping, so be it.

Parody Lyrics By Marcy Shaffer

robber baron:
I CAME UPON AN ENGINEER.
HIS THREE PH.D.s, MIT's.
A MIND SO BLINDING I SAID:
KID, WORK HERE!
MY FUND HAS STUNNED KEY TREASURIES!

YOUR FLAIR COULD MAKE YOU A BILLIONAIRE.
THROUGH DOING CONSTRUING OF STATS.
UP WHERE WE ALL BREATHE A SPECIAL AIR.
AN AIR SO RARE WE DON’T CARE TO SHARE.
WE WHO ARE THE NEW PLUTOCRATS!

WITH EACH EQUATION, YOU STRESSED MY TEST.
YOU SOARED, KID, YOU SCORED THIS REWARD.
AS YOU'RE NOT ASIAN, I'M MORE IMPRESSED!
GOOD LORD, HOW I WANT YOU ON BOARD!

SUCH JOYS, SUCH TOYS, KID, FROM MY EMPLOYS.
A TOWER OF POWER I SWING.
PLUS WHIRLS OF GIRLS, AND/OR CONVOYS OF BOYS.
A COUNTERPOISE FOR MY VICEROYS.
COME FLOWER IN MY BOWER OF BLING.

engineer:
hey mister robber baron
man, there's no debatin'
you rule and that's cool
you're captivatin' as satan

you're hauntin' my quantin'
to goose your abstruse stuff
but i am wantin' to produce stuff
for use stuff

like funky chips
and funky ships
to base in space or chase trace blips
my thingamabobs will bringama-jobs

re-industrialize
spur u.s. feet to the beat
meet your new silicon-trepreneur
sweet

vc's gushin' i'll be flushin' the chinese
who i can tell, LOL, you do swell to appease

mister robber baron, we don't fit one bit
you just gild
i submit
you don't build shitret

and your middle class hole
a mass hole
which is rich, asshole
got no itch to be your bitchh

restatin', pal, you go pluck some other sucker
and pucker
i'm creatin' value
motherfucker

so no i won't go
to grow your dough
'cause dude, i conclude you are just a ho
a ho
a ho
a ho, ho, ho
and you blow

robber baron:
YOU APPEAR SO CLEAR, KID, CAREER IN GEAR.
WITH YOUR SLAP AT THE MAP I PROPOSE.
BUT A GADGETEER SHOULD REVERE, NOT CASHIER.
THE CHAP WHO'LL ZAP CAPITAL FLOWS.

SO CRUSADE AS THINGAMABOBBY KING.
DESIGN THAT, PIPE-LINE THAT, TO SHINE.
WHILE I RAID YOUR TRADE SECRET ARCADE FOR BEIJING.
UNSWAYED BY AMERICA'S FADE FROM THE RING.
AS A NEW PLUTOCRAT, IT'S ALL FINE.
AS A TRUE PLUTOCRAT, IT'S ALL MINE.
