Bankers Bonanza Lyrics - Singles - The Chicharones

Verse 1 - Sleep 

Twas the night before the bailout and all through the house 

not a banker was stirring they were sleeping so well 

the stocks were thrown around by wall street with care 

in hopes that opportunity soon would be there 

The ceos were nestled all snug in their beds 

while visions of foreign women stripping danced in their heads 

Now mom cries in a handkerchief what pops built collapsed 

and theres no home to settle in from a long winters wrath 

when it all came crashing there arose such a clatter 

politicians pointed fingers to who caused this matter 

Away with your bank roll it flew away with a flash 

tore open the nations stomach and threw up on the flag 

There needs to be more breast on the new fall show 

offer distraction to these mindless creatures below 

When what to my wondering eyes should appear 

but a national debt pulled by 11 trillion reindeer 

With little old drivers so greedy and sick 

and the banks started acting like they were St. Nick 

More rapid than eagles the interest it came 

and a lot of people couldnt afford to play in this game 

Now Cassano, Now Paulson, Now W, and Clinton 

On Greenspan, On Madolf, On consumers and big business 

To the top of the world to the top of the wall 

Throw your cash away cash away cash away all 

Chorus 

Its off we go, to double your dough, 

to get your golden ticket, we can get you filthy rich 

and you deserve, whatever you dream! 

We can turn that want into a need indeed 

You give, We take, You buy the pie, We eat the cake 

We get the spoils, You lick the plate!...and these are the banks! 

(Banks Banks Banks.) 

Verse 2 - JM 

Banks dont back money, government does 

So when banks go down, they rush on government buzz. 

Well connected criminals Loot big bank 

See me down at goldman sachs trying to shoot big hank 

Paulson, the treasury in Washington 

printing out money nobody knows the costs and 

Condoleeza Rice opportunity in crisis 

chevron oil tanker namesake piracy 

Mired in a quagmire gigitty gigitty. Ha! 

You cannot keep feeding it Thinking of making it stop! 

Look across the landscape and all you see is 

Money for nothing and your checks for free 

Cuz Cant cook goose til the foie gras Fattens 

When jp morgan swallows chase manhattan 

then eats bear stearns like the old robber barons 

What nobody knows Has nobody caring 

The govs got the big banks back (and so it goes.) 

But where is all the help for the regular JOES? 

Why you who the onus is on are getting bonuses, 

Your Hampton hedges fully fund homelessness 

Wheres help with houses and the reworking of loans 

Wheres the sense in letting people lose they homes 

In times of crisis there ARE kings and kings fall (cell door cls) 

LET EM ROT in prison with their crimson windfall
