A parody of “Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves”
New Lyrics by Steve Bryant
Verse:
We were born from the blood from good women and men,
The USA was everyone’s friend.
Pretty soon shady men were in charge,
Preach about freedom; ignore the Constitution while they were lining large.
Chorus:
Liars, cheats and thieves,
They’re running the Congress, Senate and Wall Street.
Liars, cheats and thieves…
And every night they get together and meet.
And plan how to cheat.
Verse:
Secretary Paulson had a new plan,
It stuck all the taxpayers right in the can.
When he let us know how much it would cost,
The stock market crashed, billions and billions of dollars were lost.
Chorus:
Liars, cheats and thieves,
They’re running the Congress, Senate and Wall Street.
Liars, cheats and thieves…
And every night they get together and meet.
And plan how to cheat.
Bridge:
They weren’t foolin’ and they screwed us well,
Now they’re buying up bank stocks.
Put us on the high road straight to Hell.
Our retirement’s on the rocks,
Our retirement’s on the rocks.
Verse:
We were born from the blood of good women and men.
The USA was everyone’s fiend.
Soon a new President will take charge,
Preach abut freedom; ignore the Constitution while he’s living large.
Chorus:
Liars, cheats and thieves,
They’re running the Congress, Senate and Wall Street.
Liars, cheats and thieves…
And every night they get together and meet.
And plan how to cheat.
(repeat)
