[Intro – whispered monotone] Ink runs black, but the paper stays clean, Deals written quiet where the children can’t be seen. [Verse 1] Bollenbach stacked chips like cathedrals of glass, Nineteen billion wired through a shadowed bypass. Hilton lobbies smelled of dice and gin, But the stock exchange ledger kept the sins locked in. Resignation staged like a getaway flight, Justice Department blinked, and the trail went white. A gambler’s smile with a banker’s demands, Contracts tattooed on his billionaire hands. [Verse 2] Buffett in the boardroom, oracle calm, Portfolio wrapped like a psalm in his palm. Ak-Sar-Ben rituals, the name flipped back, Fraternity masks hide the Midwest tracks. Boys Town silence, confessions buried deep, Children turned currency, memories sold cheap. Hagstrom praised “The Buffett Way” like a creed, But the numbers concealed every scar that would bleed. [Hook – low, heavy, echoing] Billionaire hands don’t tremble, they bind, They sign with a flourish, erase with a line. From the casino floors to the farmland sands, The blood flows silent through billionaire hands. [Verse 3] Buffett said odds were high, stake the claim, But the table was fixed before the dealer came. Disney stock rising while the shadows invest, Every dividend a prayer, every payout a test. Ak-Sar-Ben backwards, the spell still stands, Whispers of children in Nebraska sands. Untouchable wealth, the second richest alive, But behind every share is a grave that survived. [Bridge – spoken, hollow tone] Numbers don’t confess. Contracts don’t bleed. But the signatures whisper… what the headlines won’t read. [Verse 4] Berkshire glass towers, reflections of steel, Each pane a confession the markets conceal. Buffett smiled broad while the scandals decayed, Boys carried burdens, but the ledgers got paid. Invisible chains clink under pinstripes and ties, A billion in bonds for a nation of lies. And the ink dries fast, like a gambler’s demands, Every silence recorded in billionaire hands. [Outro – whisper fading to silence] Hands never stained… but the stains never fade.
