| 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 dancing with the stars
|
| While over in sub-prime city
|
| It’s getting ugly in the local bars
|
| Watching the news only gives me the blues
|
| There’s too much going wrong
|
| It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
|
| And write a high speed drinking song
|
| Millionaires losing everything
|
| 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
|
| Swimming upstream like a trout
|
| They let the shit 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
|
| Iraq, Iran, 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 talking simple greed
|
| And those Somalian pirates are counting 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
|
| Iraq, Iran, 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 want some!
|
| Well the family devalues
|
| And little children count their net worth
|
| And the truth wherever it’s hiding
|
| Can’t be found on Google Earth
|
| Citibank’s buying 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 sinking ship
|
| There’s the price of oil
|
| The war of the spoils
|
| Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
|
| Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
|
| We’ve got a lot to drink about
|
| Recession, oppression, 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 |
