The Dismemberment Plan Gets Rich Lyrics - Dismemberment Plan

In early '95, well, we got the dough so we could diversify 

Had a lot of money up in bioweapons which has low liquidity 

Sold a lot of Krugerrands and rubles to a bunch of really weird Swiss guys 

And we were rockin' 

Took a little while but we finally got to get our groove on 

We were running weapons to a Cuban in Miami that just kind of flaked on us 

Then there was the time I called John Gotti up and I asked him if his fridge was running 

Well, he can laugh about it now 

We can laugh about it now! 

oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah 

yeah, yeah, yeah... 

Finally broke it open with the telecom and real estate in Asia 

With a little luck we got fur markets in South America 

Took a little longer with tin and amethyst in Zimbabwe 

(a real old boys' network) 

Got nine satellites in orbit, that helped coordination 

Opened up affiliates in Nagasaki, Venice and Antananarivo 

Joe got caught aboard a boat with seven tons of opium 

In the Singapore harbor 

Color us embarrassed! 

oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah 

yeah, yeah, yeah... 

Well, finally the year 2000 comes and the Plan is looking aces 

Got that crib in the Alps and Jason did buy that helicopter 

Gave a quarter mil to the soundman Phil so he could run for Senate 

He lost in the primary 

But we still love him! 

Got a little tip about a ginger ale company from Canada 

Getting run into the ground by a trust fund kid that thought he could write songs 

Had a couple parties on his yacht and Eric kinda borrowed his girlfriend 

It's gonna be a very good year 

A very, very good year... 

oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah 

yeah, yeah -- the Dismemberment Plan gets rich!
