The Hook

Message robert braunstein

The economy is falling down

Wall Street's on its back

We really have to bail them out

And get them in the black

If we don't act very fast

There will be an end to credit

Big companies are going down

You really better dread it

You know they would help

If this was happening to you

If you could not pay your bill

They'd shut your lights out too

They only need a trillion

I'm sure they'll pay us back

If you believe that one

They should tie you to the rack

When they are making money

The profit is all theirs

They live like kings

And when they die the money goes to heirs

Now times are bad for them

Their greed has got them in a hole

So we should cough up money

That's the people's role

When they arrest

A working man for stealing, off he goes to jail

The corporations always bail him out

They hardly ever fail.

Extend tax breaks to the

Energy industry

Please don't make them pay

Give them money too, let "US" show you the way

The same slimy rats

That could not run their own companies

Will fix the economy

And put the world at ease

Please dig deep in your pockets,

Give to the poor

Bankrupt the nation,

And save the corporate wh-re
