What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed
2
That the news is all bad
3
Well, I think it's time for a song about that
4
Up on the East side of Manhattan,
5
They're still dancing with the stars.
6
While over in sub prime city,
7
It's getting ugly in the local bars
8
Watching the news only gives me the blues
9
There's too much going wrong.
10
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
11
And write a high speed drinking song.
12
Millionaires losing everything.
13
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
14
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls,
15
But you, you get to keep your wife!
16
And don't forget the automakers
17
Swimming up stream like a trout.
18
They let the shit hit the fan
19
And then they made a plan
20
We've got a, a lot to drink about.
21
There's the price of oil,
22
The war of the spoils.
23
Here's your bucket for the big bailout?
24
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
25
We've got a, a lot to drink about.
26
Now, Madoff made off with all the money.
27
And his clients are down to skunk weed.
28
Repeat after me, it's so easy to see
29
We're only talking simple greed.
30
And those Somalian pirates are counting all the gold.
31
While Bush and Cheney ain't around
32
And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
33
From Key West to London town.
34
With the price of oil,
35
The war of the spoils.
36
Here's your bucket for the big bailout?
37
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
38
We've got a, a lot to drink about.
39
So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,
40
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum.
41
That loud mouth soup
42
Can get ya kinda looped
43
Tequila, of course I'll have some!
44
Well the family devalues
45
And little children plan their net worth
46
And the truth wherever it's hiding,
47
Can be found on Google Earth.
48
Citibank's buying jets with our money.
49
I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.
50
Let's hope Obama and Joe won't let the volcano blow
51
And patch the hole in our sinking ship.
52
There's the price of oil,
53
The war of the spoils.
54
Here's your bucket for the big bailout?
55
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
56
We've got a, a lot to drink about.
57
Recession, opression, depression, good God
58
CNN keeps bumming me out.
59
I can't take another doomsday minute
60
We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,
61
A lot to drink about.
62
God bless America!
