Lyrics:
Everybody wants to change the world,
There’s so much that they want to do.
They tell us all we’ve got to get together
But I wonder if they’ve thought that through.
They say a central plan is what we need
To overcome all this thoughtless greed.

All for one and one for all,
We have to have a single mind.
They say we can’t pursue our separate interests
If we don’t want people left behind.
I’m here to tell you that it just ain’t true.
We help each other when we don’t mean to.

That’s what we call the invisible hand,
Something no politician understands.
Leave it up to supply and demand
And follow the golden rule.

There’s no such thing as a “common good.”
Everybody’s got a different way
To figure out what will make them happy.
It’s not for someone else to say.
That’s ok, you can leave them be.
They’ll help more people if they’re just set free.

That’s what we called the invisible hand,
Long before Summers, Friedman, Keynes or Rand.
No economic program ever planned
Comes close to the good it can do.

What I’m telling you is nothing new;
It just isn’t what you want to hear.
But free your mind from thinking red or blue;
Let go of all that instilled fear

Don’t believe so-called “public servants
‘Cause they’re all out for themselves, too.
Anything they take from someone else,
They also take away from you.
Don’t believe them; there ain’t nothing free,
You’re better off with your liberty.

Just leave it up to the invisible hand,
There’s no better way to serve your fellow man.
Trade in peace and at no one’s command,
See that your rulers fall,

That’s what will save us all.
