Lyrics
Irrational exuberance
Copyright 2002 William Stevenson
Broken promise
To your employees
Forty years to the grindstone
Brings security
For those golden days
Closer each week
Fairway living
Walks on the beach
Now it?s another down day
And my 401 K
Has gone away
Creative accounting
A brief look away
And 3 billion dollars
Has been mislaid
I can?t understand it
I just want my piece
How does it happen
That it goes to the chiefs
It?s a dark down day
Now I?m working
Till the grave
Oh, please Mr Greenspan
You?ve got to help me
My seaside retirement
Is now out of reach
Can you advise me
On what I should play
Power ball lotto
Or a Roth IRA
Now it?s a dark down day
I?ll be working
Till the grave
Now it?s a dark down day
I?ll be working
Till the grave
Creative accounting
Corporate consulting
Option expensing
Offshore financing
CEOs dancing
CEOs selling
Share values tanking
S E C frowning
Consultants hiding
Stockholders crying
