Greed's Invisible Swing

November 7, 2025

Greed ain't the devil, it's the engine of gain!

Greed's Invisible Swing



[Verse 1 - Female Solo]

In the marketplace of dreams, where hearts beat fast,

Greed whispers low, like a shadow from the past.

Not a villain in the night, but a spark in the fire,

Pushing wheels to turn, lifting us higher.

Self-interest dances, in the capitalist glow,

Where profit's the rhythm, and freedom's the flow.


[Chorus - Female Lead with Male Harmonies]

Oh, greed's invisible swing, in the free market's song,

Channels the hunger, makes the weak grow strong.

No chains from above, just the hand unseen,

Wealth for the many, in this capitalist dream.

Swing it high, swing it low, let the profits rain,

Greed ain't the devil, it's the engine of gain!


[Verse 2 - Female Solo]

Freedman sang it true, in his economist's tune,

Business chases gold, under the harvest moon.

No forced charity, no government's decree,

Just competition's bite, setting spirits free.

From boardrooms to streets, where the deals are struck,

Self-love builds empires, turns luck into pluck.


[Chorus - Female Lead with Male Harmonies]

Oh, greed's invisible swing, in the free market's song,

Channels the hunger, makes the weak grow strong.

No chains from above, just the hand unseen,

Wealth for the many, in this capitalist dream.

Swing it high, swing it low, let the profits rain,

Greed ain't the devil, it's the engine of gain!


[Bridge - Female Solo with Scat Improv, Male Harmonies Building]

(Scat:) Ba-doo-bah, dee-dah-doo, profit's callin' you...

When the system's pure, no meddlin' hand,

Greed fuels the fire, across the land.

Innovation blooms, in the chase for more,

Poverty fades, on capitalism's shore.


[Outro Chorus - Female Lead with Full Male Harmonies, Fading Out]

Oh, greed's invisible swing, yeah, it's the real thing,

In Freedman's world, let the freedom ring.

Swing it high, swing it low, forever we'll know,

Greed's the beat, in capitalism's show!

(Fade with jazz piano flourish)



Inspired by Milton Friedman's writings on Greed vs. Communism

Milton was amazing!
