There is a half-life For our democracy Debt from Countrywide A break in prosperity
Open your eyes Please look through the lies and see
It's just a decoy That fuels our apathy
The wealth is easy come easy go Euphoric highs will not grow
Just watch the debt grow Nothing ever happens for free For free
Brother, they closed your loan Put some debt against your stead Made it bigger, so there's dread Brother, strife has just begun As your job's gone and sent so far away
Brother, oooh You were sold a pack of lies And Ben will try again this time tomorrow Carry trade, carry trade Nothing really happened?
Bill's late, your time has come Sent sheriffs from their shrines They're foreclosing as they dine
Good buy? Every home sold! Or so you're told They evict you to the streets it's so uncouth
Brother, oooh Just watch the debt grow
They just want more pie And they know that debt's a way to take it all
* Amazing Riff *
I see a little central banker of a man Printing debt, printing debt, for condos in Orlando Bidding wars and fighting! Very very frightening me!
Then there's oil! Then there's oil! Then there's oil! Then there's oil! Then there's oil! Oh no no! Oh no no no no no no!
It's just a decoy Lunches are not free It's just a decoy Making poor families Spare us a life Of monetary seas!
Easy come easy go Will our debt just grow?
Think it won't? They will let it grow! Let it grow! Think it won't? They will let it grow! Let it grow! Think it won't? They will let it grow! Let it grow!
They will let it grow! Let it grow! They will let it grow! Let it grow!
Oh no no! Oh no no no no no no!
Oh brother shoot me! Brother shoot me! Shoot me! Let it grow?
Ben Bernanke has some debt set aside For me? For me? For me?
So he thinks he can force me and get me to buy? So he thinks he can get me to believe the lies?
Oh, Bennie, can't do this to me Bennie I just gotta stay home I just gotta use less gasoline
Song parody writer's block! I'm not a miracle worker.
Hold on. I'm getting some inspiration here. I wonder what would happen if some of those words were simply moved around? Could it be that easy? Here goes.
He helped the poor, he robbed the rich!
@#$%! I'm still stuck. That just doesn't sound like a central banker to me either.

That one took about 2 hours. I can't speak for the quality, but the time spent was definitely a personal best, lol.
Brilliant! Bravo!
Then there's oil.
Mr Slippery,
I'm glad you liked it. It took a LOT of work! :)
For what it is worth, I very much enjoyed being able to work "a little central banker of a man" in there. I think I was even being generous.

Bernanke: There's No Housing Bubble to Go Bust
Fed Nominee Has Said 'Cooling' Won't Hurt
Applause!!!!!
The ballad of our Bernanke Times.
Personally I would like something along the lines of this:
There was a wild banking boy, Ben Bernanke was his name...
Maybe we should have a song contest next? You host!

Stag,
Yes. Queen's guitar riff and the Fed's perverse eCONomic riff.
There's madness to the Fed's method!
MaxedOutMama,
The lyrics in your song are tough.
He robbed the rich, he helped the poor...
