In the world of finance, a few could see
The bubble building, the catastrophe
Hedge funds and bankers, blinded by greed
While a few outsiders dared to take the lead

A bet against the market, a risky play
But these renegades were willing to sway
The system, the status quo, the norm
To bring down the banks and expose the storm

From New York to Florida, the hunt begins
For the signs, the signals, the smoking gun
And as the numbers pile up and mount
The truth is clear, the bubble's set to count

The market crashes, the world's in shock
But for some, it's the ultimate jackpot
The system crumbles, the banks go under
As the few who saw it all, ride the thunder

In the end, a lesson to be learned
Of greed and folly, and the bridges burned
For those who dared to take a stand
The big short, a victory so grand.
