Lyrics
Where the money went
Seems we got a spot of trouble
In the year of ought nine
For years they told us things were groovy
Land of the free was doing fine
'Cause they was all makin' money
And thinking it was heaven sent
And then A-Ooops!
They said all the money's gone
And nobody knows where it went
Well you don't know (Baby, you don't know)
And I don't know (Yeah, that's for sure)
And the Man don't know ('Cause he's so slow)
Yeah, nobody knows (Where the money go)
Nickels, dimes, dollars, now my last red cent
But nobody knows where the money went
How we got here's pretty simple
It was greed, greed, greed!
It ain't righteous of you, brother
Takin' way more than you need
You let the fox in the henhouse
And then some laws they got bent
And then A-Ooops!
They said all the money's gone
And nobody knows where it went
Well you don't know (Baby, you don't know)
And I don't know (Yeah, that's for sure)
And the Man don't know ('Cause he's so slow)
Yeah, nobody knows (Where the money go)
Went to get a loan they said it all was lent
And nobody knows where the money went
Bank slime sold subprime to Fannie Mae
That's what I think that they're trying to say
Politicians, mathematicians, wall street types
We got screwed by folks of every stripe!
Guess we was talking on our Iphones
When they sowed the grapes of wrath
Yeah, we was wandering in the bushes
When they started this bloodbath
If I could go to the Whitehouse
And stand before the president
I'd say Ooops!
Big O all the money's gone
And you don't even know where it went
Well you don't know (Baby, you don't know)
And I don't know (Yeah, that's for sure)
And Big O don't know ('Cause he's so slow)
Yeah, nobody knows (Where the money go)
Gotta a lotta brothers they can't pay their rent
But nobody knows where the money went
Nobody knows where the money went
