Atlas Choking
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
