Lyrics for Song: Capitalism Blues
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Willie Nelson



The Capitalism Blues

by Neil Baron

I got the capitalism blues

'Cause we're capitalistic fools

And we're lucky if it stops at a recession

I got the capitalism blues

'Cause our capitalistic tools

Are leading the world to a depression

Let's make some giant loans

That are too big for the homes

And more than the buyer can afford

We'll give a real low rate

Right out of the gate

Knowing that next year the rate will soar

Then we'll get a Wall Street ghoul

To put it all into a pool

And "securitize" it into senior bonds

And shop at all the doors

Of all the rating stores

And pick the ratings of which we're most fond

And we'll get our triple A

Even though the bonds won't pay

But we'll sell them here and sell more across the pond

I got the capitalism blues

'Cause we're capitalistic fools

And we're lucky if it stops at a recession

I got the capitalism blues

'Cause our capitalistic tools

Are leading the world to a depression



When the mortgage loans default

While the short funds all exalt

The longs all make a very different sound



Because they bought with leverage

And when the prices start to hemorrhage

The walls around them all start falling down

And as collateral prices fall

They all get a margin call

And have to dump their bonds at the same time

Because everybody's got 'em

And no one sees a bottom

Buyers are impossible to find

[Chorus]Lending disappears

Due to balance sheet fears

And the Fed and Paulson don't know what to do

They even make worse

'Cause even with their giant purse

It's clear that they haven't got a clue

Our stocks and bonds all plummet

A long way from their summit

Leaving us with nothing left to spend

And as companies don't survive

We watch unemployment rise

And we still don't know when it all will end

[Chorus]Copyright © 2009 Neil Baron All Rights reserved
