According to Forbes, there are currently more billionaires on Earth than ever. Over 3,000 of them, including all the billionaire tech bros who attended billionaire president Donald Trump‘s inauguration, and the 13 billionaires now in the White House.
So Stephen Colbert dedicated a song to those who opt for faberge eggs in a crisis during Tuesday night’s Late Show, joining The Traitors and Doctor Who icon Alan Cumming for a bonafide chilling bop about why billionaires are good, actually! Are they watching? Of course they are! Sing it loud! “Hey boss!” Colbert says to a surveillance camera. “You’re one of the good ones, hope you’re liking the song!”
It’s a pastel-hued banger with an 11/10 kicker: “Sing their praises and maybe when we are done, they’ll fuck off and colonise the sun.”
