They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob, When there was stock to short or bonds to bear, I was always there, right there on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream, with wealth and glory ahead, Why should I be standing in line, just waiting with dread?
Once I worked for Lehman Made it run, Made the indexes climb Once I worked for Lehman Now it's done, Brother, can you spare a dime.
Once I got a mortgage Bought my dream, But it all was sub-prime Now I'm in foreclosure Ponzi-schemed, Brother, can you spare a dime.
Once in Prada suits, gee I looked swell, Company shares built up my 401-K. Now my Gucci boots are slogging through hell, My shares have burnt up like hay!
Hated regulation -- the markets free! But this credit squeeze sucks. I need intervention, golly jeez, Spare me seven gigabucks. ------- In my Gucci suit, gee I looked swell, Thin -- with a big fat Roth IRA. Now my Prada boots are slogging through hell, All of my shares blown away!
Hated regulation, until this squeeze -- But hey! I committed no crimes. Golly, Ms. Pelosi, I'm on my knees -- Spare me seven trillion dimes.
