Lyrics
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 Brynner
Found himself there in the aether
Dead Ayn Rand took Yul by the hand
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 a basket of options
"If you know what's good for you, hold onto these
'Cause everything's gonna go up, up, up"
Greenspan and Stockman leading the horsemen
The party was just getting started
The Marlboro Man rode into Japan
Looked over the water to China
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
Everyone hush, utopia's flush
Back in '84 in the long run
