Free Falling - Weird Al Yankovich
Wed, 10/08/2008 - 11:11 — Jon (not verified)'Its a long day living in recession
There's a freeway an none moving
I am bad boy cause I am not spendin'
I am bad boy for saving my money
The street is free-fallin'
Everythin' is free-fallin'
All the banker walkin through the alley
mov'in out from their expensive houses
and all the boardmembers are standin in the shadows
All the lenders are beggin with the President ...
We're free fallin ...
We can't make our loans ...
We're free fallin ...
Gonna have to sell one of our homes ...
We wan't to glide over to Europe
We want slide our golden parachutes
Gonna free fall on my stock options
Gonna have to live of 60 million ...
And we're free fallin ....
Some tunes should be coming soon.....
