BAD BEHAVIOR

CHORUS: PEOPLE GETTING REWARDED FOR BAD BEHAVIOR
WILL COMMON SENSE BE OUR SAVIOR
PEOPLE GETTING REWARDED FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR
WILL COMMON SENSE BE OUR SAVIOR

VERSE: MAKING BIG CARS THAT DON’T SELL
WONDERING WHY SALES HAVE GONE TO HELL
DOESN’T HELP WITH THE PRICE OF GAS
FLYING A CORPORATE JET DOESN’T SEEM CRASS
UNION LABOR HAS A STRANGLE HOLD
ASKING FOR A BAILOUT SEEMS SO BOLD
THIRTY YEARS AGO, THEY DIDN’T LEARN
WHY NOT LET THEM CRASH AND BURN

CHORUS:

VERSE: MORTGAGE COMPANIES OUT TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK
PUTTING PEOPLE DOWN ON THEIR LUCK
FAMILIES TRYING TO KEEP THEIR COMPOSURE
WHILE THEY ARE FACING FORECLOSURE
FINANCIAL FAILURE CAUSING THE STOCKS TO CRASH
PUTTING THE ECONOMY IN THE TRASH
DOESN’T IT STRIKE YOU AS FUNNY
GETTING REWARDED WITH MORE MONEY
CHORUS:
VERSE: STATE OF CALIFORNIA RUNNING OUT OF CASH
STATE BUDGET IS IN THE TRASH
EMPLOYEES GETTING PAID TOO WELL
NO WONDER IT HAS GONE TO HELL
LIBERALS WANT GOVERNMENT CONTROL
BUT DON’T WANT TO PAY THE TOLL
CAN’T LET CALIFORNIA FAIL
PLEASE GIVE CALIFORNIA A BAIL.
CHORUS:
