You bought the pitch
|
The whole nine yards
|
The shiny dream
|
The house of cards
|
But now your dream's
|
Gone down the drain
|
The house of cards
|
A house of pain
|
They promised riches
|
Over-night
|
They stitched you up
|
It hurts alright
|
They took your money
|
An' your shoes
|
And now you've got
|
The Wall Street blues
|
|
You bought the dream
|
New lamps for old
|
You thought the streets
|
Were paved with gold
|
They filled your hands
|
With tinsel and glitter
|
It tasted sweet
|
But soon turned bitter
|
You took the bait
|
They reeled you in
|
An' now the future's
|
Lookin' grim
|
They took your money
|
And your shoes
|
And now you've got
|
The Wall Street blues
|
|
They said the market
|
Could never go down
|
They took your savings
|
And then left town
|
They couldn't have done it
|
Without your greed
|
They only satisfied
|
A need
|
You tried to make
|
An easy buck
|
They pulled the plug
|
And now you're stuck
|
They took your money
|
And your shoes
|
I guess you've got
|
The Wall Street blues
|
