"Credit Crunch" sounds like we made that name up for kidsTo explain to them this where Father Christmas is"I'm sorry, Timmy, but Santa couldn't come this yearDr. Credit Crunch has trapped him up in Castle Fear""Billy Santa has been eaten by the Credit CruncherSo you'll have to keep your old bike, I'll just repair the puncture"Although I guess those fairy tales are really for the grown upsSo no one has to take the blame and no one has to own upSee as a nation we went and tried to live above our meansHad spending sprees and who was there accommodating these?Over employed, over ambitious little companiesSo now we'll suffer some unemployment and redundanciesAnd there ain't a solution, Just a choice between some different evilsA choice to be made by those publicly elected peopleWho will always make the wrong choice in someone's eyes?But then I'm sure it can be sweetened with some tasteful liesWe either borrow more cash to keep our people spendingStop the panic and stop the whole economy descendingWhilst still maintaining restraints on public lendingAlthough whether that'll work is still simply atheory pendingLetras de cancionesBut it's either that or simply take away public resourcesAnd start to charge for services already so exhaustedAmericanize and risk the financial demise that Bush didWhich is certainly the rockier of both treacherous coursesBut then I guess the answer probably won't be found insideSome lyrics written by some lanky bearded guyAnd now I must declare to those that have managed to listenThis is easily the most depressing verse I'veever writtenI devastateNobody's getting off easyDominateI'm on your mind and on the TVGimme the money and allA pound of flesh and the checkbookI dominateLike a December-weather check-hookGimme what I can't affordI'll borrow just a little more I'll write my own referenceThe banks are only glad to lendThey wouldn't if they shouldn't But they do so I'll just go and spendWhat's a subprime?Why's it sound so threatening?Everybody's chewing on the credit crunch But I don't really get it, from what I read in The SunIt said that now we own the banks, and that the bankers are punksAnd, oh! That dude from X Factor with the bucktooth won!Apparently we've been too materialisticThings are gonna change, we're now all so-shall-is-tic?Woolworths shut down! Where will I go to shoplift liquorice?Stop, listen, will this effect the cost of getting pissed?If it does I'll just watch TVIt's not the source of our problems, It's the cure and will stop themYou'll see home improvement, location speculation, take a loan, buy ahome, do it up and sell it onLike it's a failsafe craze is sweeping the nationMaybe I'll watch who wants to be a millionaire, noHow's about I've got low credit, please get me out of hereSo I go for a stroll and some fresh airNot think about shopping, but oh, a stocking, right, X-Mas is hereBright lights inviting me to buy nice bits I'll hold dearI mean for those I hold dear, that looks nice, oh dearI don't open final notice envelopes no more for fearOf what they'll say, but what the hey, I deserve some winter cheerWhen the barcode bleeps and I hear Enter PIN HereMy head lights up with the foresight of a blinded deerWhen the barcode bleeps and I hear Enter PIN Here"My head lights up with the sight of a blinded deerBankers been trading our debtsAt ratings that were too inflatedAnd it's shameless'Cause we knew I would never make those repaymentsBut pointing the finger's pointlessHomeowners or city bonusWe were in the same sinking boat just gorging on oystersNow the pearls turned gritty just sit back and enjoy itWe're losing jobs but now we're watching our costsrenewables are taking offThere's a left wing again And thanks to the crunch, we've even got a black presidentI devastateNobody's getting offeasyDominateI'm on your mind and on the TVGimme the money and allA pound of flesh and the checkbookI dominateLike a December-weather check-hook From Letras Mania
