Four Billion Tulip Bulbs by The Ex (Punk Band) Lyrics

1636 One bulb selling for a house and a ship
1637 says Charles Mackay, the tulip bubble and the black plague
It was the first market madness of the crowds
It was a speculative bubble near my house

Four billion tulip bulbs
Soil and fields and flower sales
Eigth clocks, five halls
One million square meters and the cool chain
It’s the biggest business building in the world
It’s the biggest business building in the world

The Bulbs, the beas, the billions

Twenty million elastic bands
Assembly lines and flower crates
Push the button, it’s mine
It’s mine but I didn’t go on the second day
It was the worst job I had ever had
It’s the worst job I have ever had
The Bulbs, the beas, the billions
