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' wrong
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, you get to keep your wife
And don't forget the auto makers
Swimmin' upstream like a trout
They let the shit hit the fan and then they made a plan
We gotta, a lot to drink about
It's the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here's your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We gotta, 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 bail out
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We gotta, a lot to drink about
So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loudmouth soup can get you kinda 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 them with a buggy whip
Let's hope Barrack and Joe won't let the volcano blow
And patch the hole in our sinkin' ship
There's the price of oil, war of the spoils
Here's your bucket for the big bail out
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We've gotta, a lot to drink about
Recession, aggression, depression, good God
CNN keeps bummin' me out
I can't take another doomsday minute
Gotta, a lot to drink, a lot to think, a lot to drink about
God bless America
