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, you get to keep your wife!

And don't forget the automakers

Swimming up stream like a trout.

They let the shit hit the fan

And then they made a plan

We've got a, 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, 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 the 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,

The war of the spoils.

Here's your bucket for the big bailout?

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,

We've got a, a lot to drink about.



So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,

Pour me a fine Jamaican rum.

That loud mouth soup

Can get ya kinda looped

Tequila, of course I'll have some!



Well the family devalues

And little children plan their net worth

And the truth wherever it's hiding,

Can be found on Google Earth.

Citibank's buying jets with our money.

I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.

Let's hope Obama 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, a lot to drink about.



Recession, opression, depression, good God

CNN keeps bumming me out.

I can't take another doomsday minute

We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,

A lot to drink about.



God bless America!
