What Hurts Wall Street Helps Milwaukee

[good4somethingbum]

What Hurts Wall Street Helps MilwaukeeOnce I was a millionaire, cos I owned a million sharesOf some toy outfit overseasFolks found somethin’ in the toys , that they said was bad fer boysGave ‘em hives and made ‘em sneezeThey repoed my house and ruined my whole lifeTook my Chateau 60 so I drank some Colt .45Chorus Cos what hurts Wall Street helps MilwaukeeSometimes the cheap stuff tastes kinda chalkyBut life looks better when the mind is foggyThough I know how crazy it can soundPeople drink up when the Dow is downWhat hurts Wall Street helps MilwaukeeFound a job with overtime, workin’ an assembly lineAt the auto plant outside townThey recalled a bunch of cars, cos of some exploding partsLaid us off and shut the factory downSoon we’d be livin’ on foodbank hash n hominySo we bought a case and drank to the economyChorusWell, I sold all my beer cans for a penny apieceBought me some stock in barley and yeastUnless they find lead in those golden bubblesI’ll git rich from guys with money troublesChorus…©2007 Robert George
