Hey have you noticed
that the world has changed
That the news is all bad
Well I think it's time
for a song about that
Up on the east side
of Manhattan
They're still dancin'
with the stars
While over in sub-prime city
It's gettin' ugly
in the local bars
Watchin' the news
only gives me the blues
There's too much goin' on
It takes the likes of me
to hit the reboot key
And write a high
speed drinkin' song
Millionaires losin' everythin'
Hey welcome to
the other side of life
There goes the yacht
There goes the Rolls
But you get to keep your wife
And don't forget
the automakers
Swimmin' upstream like a trout
They let the **** hit the fan
And then made a plan
We've got a lot to drink about
There's the price of oil
The war of the spoils
Here's your bucket
for the big bailout
lraq lran Afghanistan
We've got a lot to drink about
Now Madoff made off
with all the money
And his clients are
down to skunk weed
Repeat after me
it's so easy to see
We're only talkin' simple greed
And those Somalian pirates
are countin' all their gold
While Bush and Cheney
ain't around
And all the good lookers
seem to be Russian hookers
From Key West
to London town
With the price of oil
War of the spoils
Here's your bucket
for the big bailout
lraq lran Afghanistan
We've got a lot to drink about
So pour me some
Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loud mouth soup
Can get ya kind of looped
Tequila
of course I'll have some
Well the family devalues
And little children
plan their net worth
And the truth
Wherever it's hidin'
Can't be found
on Google Earth
Citibank's buyin' jets
with our money
I wanna flog 'em
with a buggy whip
Let's hope Barack and Joe
won't let the volcano blow
And patch the hole
in our sinkin' ship
There's the price of oil
The war of the spoils
Here's your bucket
for the big bailout
lraq lran Afghanistan
We've got a lot to drink about
Recession opression
Depression good God
CNN keeps bummin' me out
I can't take another
doomsday minute
Got a lot to drink
A lot to think
A lot to drink about
God bless America
