Viewing lyrics for Market Sektor One (English Version) by Attila the Stockbroker.
MARKET SEKTOR ONE

Another new year and too much beer and goodbye to the Wall
But now there’s only disappointment, nothing left at all
The dreams we marched and fought for have faded and turned sour
The cabbage* is a king now, it’s Helmut’s finest hour
And on the streets the people want it ‘as seen on TV’
And a big bunch of banana is a sign that you are ‘free’
It’s just begun –
Market Sektor One

As in the East we talked about a future bold and new
A thousand Western businessmen were celebrating too
The vultures were all circling, there was money to be made
A multinational carve up, a bank to be obeyed
And now the old, rich foreigners make claims on every hand -
‘You’re living in my house, mein Herr, you’re farming on my land’
It’s time to run –
Market Sektor One

Is that all that we were fighting for?
Bananas and sex shops, nothing more?
Welcome to the Western dream
Just another cheap labour scheme

The whole of Europe’s changing – Big Brother’s on the run
It could just be a whole new age of freedom has begun
But freedom doesn’t bow its head to some financier’s will
And Europe is our common home, not some gigantic till
So send the money grabbers riding off into the sun
And send with them the culture of the dollar and the gun
Then we’ll have fun
And justice will be done

(1990)
