lyrics

well...

did it go too far
did it go too fast
running outta money and running outta gas
oh my! please mr president, tell me that it's all a lie

bought a house that i could not afford
the bank foreclosed now i'm living in my Ford
oh my! please mr president, tell me that it's all a lie

my blood pressure's up and I'm feeling run down
i buy new clothes at the lost and found
oh my! please mr president, tell me that it's all a lie

the builder, broker, banker and Blackwater in Iraq
they all stole our money and they won't give it back
oh my! please mr president, tell me that it's all a lie

you say we're ok, recovery's not far
while i'm eating beans and you're still doing caviar
oh my! please mr president, tell me that it's all a lie

you got the G20, you got the G8
a billion dollars later can you spell "police state"?
oh my! please mr president, tell me that it's all a lie
