A Lot To Drink About

Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed
 That the news is all bad
 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 the 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 losin' everything.
 Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
 There goes the yacht, there goes the rolls
 But, you get to keep your wife!
 And don't forget the automakers
 Swimming up stream like a trout.
 They let the shi* hit the fan
 And then they made a plan
 We've got a lot to drink about.
 It'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 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 their 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
 War of the spoils.
 Here's your bucket for the big bailout.
 Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
 We've got a lot to drink about.
 So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
 Pour me a fine Jamaican rum.
 That loud mouth soup
 Can get ya kind of 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't be found on Google Earth.
 Citibank's buying jets with our money.
 I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.
 Let's hope Barack and Joe won't let the volcano blow
 And patch the hole in our sinking ship.
 There's the price of oil
 War of the spoils.
 Here's your bucket for the big bailout.
 Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
 We've got a lot to drink about.
 Recession, Aggression, Depression good God
 CNN keeps bummin' me out.
 I can't take another doomsday minute.
 Got a lot to drink, a lot to think
 A lot to drink about.
 God bless America
