A Lot To Drink About |
| 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 |
