Wizard's Chess: A Song about IMF

Shall we play a game, my friend,
La-le-la-le-la?
Listen to my words, my friend,
La-ee-la-ee-ee:

These are those casting spells 
From anonymity, world class accountants
Meeting on foreign shores to ensure
That they win this horrific game
When it comes to its bitter end.

La-le-la-le-la....
They've come for our Queen.

"Time to change the world," they say;
"Time for all we know to be upended."
And when the markets fail 
(And they will fail, my friend)
We will sing together:

We are the Pawns.
La-ee-la-ee-ee.

There goes the Pawn,
There goes the Rook.
Here come the Master Gamers
To kill our precious Queen.

Now no one's singing
La-le-la-le-la.
Now the haunted chorus, friends:
La-ee-la-ee-ee
