Offshore Banking Business - The Members, Rico Rodriguez

Bermuda in the Bahamas

Front street Hamilton

They doin' more than growing bananas

They got a tax dodge going on

Offshore banking business

International crime

Offshore banking business

Happening all the time

Banks and corporations are registered

And operating there

They don’t employ any local staff

And I don’t know if you are aware

One American sitting at a desk

With a plaque outside on the wall

Huh, you know that’s what they call

Offshore banking business

Some kind of financial thing, yeah

Offshore banking business

The man with the money

He’s gonna swing up there from the tree

You got some pennies and the pounds

Your head’s going round

With a bunch of figures

That your mind can’t compound

I say as I would say

Who wants to know?

I would say I wanna know

Who’s got my money?

Who’s got my sense?

Why is everybody trying to steal my pence?

Guy in the city

Guy in the news

Everybody giving me the financial blues, yeah

Who’s behind this operation?

I’ll tell you you what I know

(And I know more than the rest)

Newspaper barons and oil tycoons

Watching their money grow

It’s not an idle rumour nor no scandal talk

All of the profits are washed through

Curacao, Panama, New York

Offshore banking business

You better watch your chin, Jim

Offshore banking business

IMF never gonna let you in with this

Offshore banking business

You think it’s just money that counts

Offshore banking business
