Proud To Be A Banker Lyrics - Singles - Arrogant Worms

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

'Cause I get to play with other people's money 

I'm having a lousy day 

I burn my toast and spill my coffee 

on my best shirt. So I had to change and then 

I'm late for work. So I rush into the meeting 

where they are discussing what my future in the corporation is 

and I don't really give a damn 

but I don't have another job 

and so I lie and say 

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

'Cause I get to talk to stimulating people 

I open up my mail 

hoping that it's not a bill but it's from the bank 

saying that I have only 20 hours to go 

to contribute to my RRSP for this tax year 

so I run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineup 

and I'm yelling and I'm screaming 

and I'm not wearing any pants ha ha ha ha 

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

'Cause I get to screw with other people's lives 

I took out 40 bucks 

from the automatic teller. It told me 

that I couldn't 'cause I just had 10 

but that can't be 'cause I just got paid on Friday 

so I go down to the bank, wait an hour in the lineup 

and I'm talking to the teller 

she says "Wait I'll get your last month's statement" 

She comes back in 7 hours 

says I've got some interest charges and a cheque from Uncle Bill 

that bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for that 

and for the box I never opened and I don't have overdraft protection 

and I think I'll die before I pay off all that I owe and I don't even 

own a car 

I'm pleased to be a banker 

I'm proud to be a banker 

I'm pleased to be a banker 

'Cause I get to play with other people's money 

(HE'S A BANKER) 

Would you please endorse this cheque? 

(HE'S A BANKER) 

Do you have any assets? 

(HE'S A BANKER) 

You should buy you shouldn't rent 

(HE'S A BANKER) 

The cheque will cost you fifty cents 

(IT WILL COST YOU FIFTY CENTS) 

(IT WILL COST YOU FIFTY CENTS)
