The Lyrics
The corp'rate welfare crew
Are doing fine.
They run companies right into
The ground, cryin'
"Pay me more!" sighin'.
Then ask for a handout,
Sitting on a mound
Of dough; then they cash out
While the company is tumblin' down.
The corp'rate welfare crew
Are doing fine,
Just fine.
W
And his crew
All them blew
What ensues?
Markets down.
But they don't care
About you and me--
They're on the town.
Them worry?!
The corp'rate welfare crew,
Rapacious swine.
Are doing fine.
They run companies right into
The ground, cryin'
"Pay me more!" sighin'.
Then ask for a handout,
Sitting on a mound
Of dough; then they cash out
While the company is tumblin' down.
The corp'rate welfare crew
Are doing fine,
Just fine.
W
And his crew
All them blew
What ensues?
Markets down.
But they don't care
About you and me--
They're on the town.
Them worry?!
The corp'rate welfare crew,
Rapacious swine.
