“Your house is your bank account” – That
would be a Fox News Ad
That dumbass tourist has turned his back for a moment,
Quick! grab that camera off their table
There’s hardly any jobs here and I cant read and I’d rather
stay high than fix potholes
Shit, they got way more money than they deserve or know what
to do with, anyhow
Anything we see and can get our hands on, well, it’s like
this: we got the right to just take it
Those stupid government bastards are Still begging us
to take tax money at zero interest
These jobless, assetless morons will sign anything for no
money down and no credit check
We can make even more on phony inspections, imaginary fees
and artificial closing costs
Then we’ll sell off the bogus loans to the big investment
bank boys and go do it all over again
I’m so underwater on this stinking house, I won’t get any
more equity out of it for years
Rolled my credit card and my vacations in there and walked
out with cash at all my Refis
Now the rate’s adjusting up and house prices are going down
and here I am, laid off again
Why, it’s just good financial strategy to walk away from
this loser and start all over, clean again
So we pack these opaque tranches full of hand-picked,
guaranteed subprime mortgage losers
Pay off our lap dog ratings agencies to say this worthless
bag of shit is surely safe and TripleA rated
Sic the sales dogs on our hapless big investors with glossy
brochures lined with 5 pt legalese
Hedge that bitch heavily and profit big when it proves to be
just as worthless as we made it to be
Offshore them, outsource them, downsize them, but just
eliminate them once and for all
After age 50, replace them with eager 3rd world
contractors and then renege on their benefits
Move production to China, support to India, incorporate in
Bermuda and grab more fat bonuses
Hey, lets watch our new Ad about the Human Resource
again, I really like the words and music
Got the mineral rights to our choice of federal and private
lands for like 7¢ an acre
Bought off the regulators, gave out some toxic temporary
jobs and by god jest got ‘er done
Expressed our shock and sadness over the poisonous damages
and whined for federal help
Dropped the cleanup in the govt’t lap by cleverly declaring
a phony bankruptcy & then walked away
Invented our own image of slick, fast-talking
professionalism in stocks and cars and real estate
Sold them on the utter necessity of our so-called vital
services and expensive but empty expertise
Convinced them that flat fees just wont motivate us, then
drove up prices to get higher commissions
Hid the details, met the objections, closed them and made
sure to never return their calls again
The politicians and the Godders keep em all sold on the
moral necessity of constant war
Convinced them we need ever more arms even though we outspend
all the rest combined
Got all the politicians so scared of being labeled Soft
On Defense not even one would vote against us
And we also spin a self-sacrificing and patriotic image even
as we suck a trillion out of every budget
They’ve got this inborn need to faith that’s a gaping
opportunity for money and control
We’ve got these old stories which can be made to support
anything we decide our cronies need
A few props, costumes, smoke, music and ceremonies provide
the proper backdrop for our work
Their need to faith is our key to power, riches, control,
sexual favors and their love and respect
