Wall Street Bail Out Blues by Reggie Miles © 2008
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
The economic downturn
Who's getting' bailed out
And who's gonna get burned
Wall Street millionaire
Vultures comin' home to roost
They want more corporate welfare
To pad their golden parachutes
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
Bear Stearns and AIG
A blank check is all they lack
For their next spending spree
Everybody's frettin' 'bout
The stock market crashin' down
Who's gonna get a handout
And who they're gonna let drown
Fat cats with hats in hand
Swimmin' in toxic debt
A little help is all they ask
And, 700 billion should cover it
They're cryin' help us Main Street
Our market shares are fallin' fast
You may be losin' your house next week
But we're all about to lose our ass
Everybody's bloggin' 'bout
The 2008 recession
It's a who's who of who's lost everything
And who's gonna get possession
They want cheap cash to make it right
To fuel their speculation
Free from any oversight
And any regulation
We all know who the real losers are
You can see them very clear
No, you don't have to look so far
Just check out any mirror
Everybody's freakin' 'bout
The credit crunch crisis
Who's down for the count
And who's going to survive this
Welcome to your plutocracy
Government by and for the rich
Who made this mess for all to see
Thank George that S-O-B and the GOP
Will the greedy kings of Wall Street
Run out of credit this time
Or will they keep panhandlin' Main Street
Hey buddy can you spare a dime
Everybody's worried 'bout
Our financial situation
But I guess it don't apply to me
In my present occupation
When you ain't got nothin'
There's nothin' left to lose
That's why I'm sittin' here on Main Street
Singin' these Wall Street bail out blues
