Bring Your Money Down To Honduras

we're gonna build us a brand new city down in the jungle
where the law of the jungle will surely apply
a Libertarian heaven on earth
gonna be a rich man's dream
and if the workers wanna start a little labor union?
hah! let 'em try!

we won't pay no pesky taxes on the money we make
no silly little regulations to get in our way
we're gonna make our own laws
   hire our own judges and policemen too
so bring your money down to Honduras
bring it today

bring your money south of the border
there's a president there, he's our friend
there'll be a steady supply of impoverished workers
and the profits will never end
that ol' invisible hand of the marketplace
is gonna slap the local peasantry right in the face
so come on down to Honduras with your money, friend
yeah come on down to Honduras with your money, friend
get your ass to Honduras, bring a big bag of money, friend
the profits ain't ever gonna end
the profits ain't ever gonna end
down in Honduras, friend

This song is inspired by some news articles I read on a proposed scheme to create some modern-day 'company town' 
in Honduras. Check out this article in the Guardian, for example.
