And Here Comes The Legacy Group

they make the announcement that they have gone bankrupt
call for a press conference and ask the court for rehabilitation

and this man that heads the legacy group lives
in a mansion, a swimming pool as large as a lake,
he owns an exclusive yacht, a vacation house on top of a hill,
shares of stock in the names of some strangers,
a swiss bank deposit, some condominiums

all the planholders are weary, and all their dreams are broken
the future is bleak, and everything they invested are lost to the wind

the usual blah, blah of the press, and the incredible explanations of the culprit
another gullible investor, another secret billionaire getting off the hook
the court grants another chance for a rehabilitation

only in the Philippines.
