Bailout Blues (copyright 2010 -
Slightly Sedated)
While Wall Street was dealing, with CEOs stealing, trillions in equity flushed
down the drain
Now Main Street is reeling, with you and I feeling, so sold out, so screwed, and
we're bearing the pain,
We're in a recession, we need intervention, might be years, til we're back in
the black
Businesses bankrupting, finances corrupting, will our government pick up the
slack
Chorus:
It's the Bailout blues, can't sleep much at night,
It's the Bailout Blues, there's no end in sight.
Unemployment is rising, jobs lost to re-sizing, better not have much debt, hope
you cashed in your gains,
Politicians posturizing, economists compromising, quote Adam Smith, Friedman,
and John Maynard Keynes.
The investors are bailing, their fears are
prevailing, and credit is so very tight,
The Feds to the rescue, but just between me and you, don't know if they can ever
get it right,
Chorus:
Guitar solo
Chorus:
Foreclosures depressing, and prices regressing, our nest eggs are smaller than
ever before,
We're watching the markets, the Dow Jones, the Nasdaq, we're even following
Standard and Poor.
We're in a recession, we need intervention, might be years, til we're back in
the black
Businesses bankrupting, finances corrupting, will our government pick up the
slack
Chorus:
End
