Learn a lesson from bankers, presstitutes!
A good marketeer, they say, must learn to lie!
A journalist makes a boo-boo, they make a hue and cry
Techies owning palatial bungalows are a sign of success
If a scribe owns a sedan, the word changes to ‘excess’
Insurance firms denying claims of cancer patients are being rational
Media supporting rights of downtrodden are definitely anti-national
Chartered Accountants can hoodwink the government
Still, they will never be an enemy of development
They are so skilled that their clients are taxed peanuts
Many journos don’t care, for they are paid just peanuts
Corporate hospitals are creating a different sort of strife
Only those who can pay, it seems, deserve a life
Back then if you are poor you can’t be a doc
Today if you are poor you can’t see a doc
At least, can budding docs spend a year in rural service? No.
Just one question, where should we ask the ailing poor to go?
The tallest of them all is our dear banker
Back in school, he wasn’t even the top ranker
He is cool because he can multiply your money
Needs of the few will outweigh needs of the many
You have a shitload of money? He will give you more on loan
You can’t maintain minimum balance? He’s sure to make you groan
They don’t care if the king of good times scoots with millions
But if a farmer needs waiver, he has to march with millions
If a journalist dares to question this, he is anti-national
He is influenced by Commies who are totally irrational
The attack will come from within, we have many a Brutus
Some still speak truth to power, though you may shoot us
We only ask you to spare our great institutes
For that one crime, you call us presstitutes
