Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed?

          C               C7
Up on the east side of Manhattan,

              F                 C
They're still dancing with the stars.

      F                 C
While over in sub prime city,

                               G
It's getting ugly in the local bars

F                      C
Watching the news only gives me the blues

        C        G/B    Am
There's too much going wrong.

        F                           C
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key

            G                    C
and write a high speed drinking song.

C                   C7
Millionaires losing everything.

     F                             C
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!

F                     C
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls,

                         G
But you get to keep your wife!

    F                    C
And don't forget the automakers

C           G/B           Am
swimming up stream like a trout.

             F
They let the shit hit the fan

    C
and then they made a plan

           G              C
We've got a lot to drink about.

            F
There's the price of oil,

    C
the war of the spoils.

            C              G/B     Am
Here's your bucket for the big bailout?

F              C
 Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,

         G                C
We've got a lot to drink about.

Now Madoff made off with all the money.

         F                  C
And his clients are down to skunk weed.

  F                      C
Repeat after me, it's so easy to see

                          G
We're only talking simple greed.

            F                  C
And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold.

      C        G/B           Am
While Bush and Cheney ain't around

    F                            C
and all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers

                 G      C
from Key West to London town.

         F
With the price of oil,

the war of the spoils.

So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,

Bb                      F
pour me a fine Jamaican rum.

That loud mouth soup

    F
Can get ya kind of looped

  D                          G
Tequila, of course I'll have some!

        C        C7
Now the family devalues

           F                       C
and little children plan their net worth

        F                   C
and the truth wherever it's hiding,

                         G
can't be found on Google Earth.

    F                           C
Citibank's buying jets with our money.

        C               G/B   Am
I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.

              F                          C
Let's hope Barrack and Joe won't let the volcano blow

              G                   C

There's the price of oil,

war of the spoils.

            C              G/B     Am
Here's your bucket for the big bailout?

Recession, aggression, the depression, good God

  F                  C
CNN keeps bumming me out.

F                     C
 I can't take another doomsday minute.

        G
We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,

                C
a lot to drink about.
