My Absurd Life

Toxic, the Economic Remix!

Sing to the music of, duh, Toxic by Britney "Shears."

Broker, can’t you see
I’m ailing
A loan like yours
Should have a warning
Your ARM’s dangerous
I’m fallin’

There’s no escape
My subprime fate
I need a hit
Credit, give me it
Banks tightening
I’m hatin’ it

 

Bought too high
Crashing down
Losing my home
Blame goes round and round
Do you leave me now?

With relaxed rules on loans
I qualified
So toxic, my stupid blunder
With a faith in your poison paradigm
I committed to you
The bubble burst and it’s toxic
There’s a spreading of gloom
‘Cause the assets are toxic

Must stimulate
Fed revs it up
Biz takes the boost
And fills its cup
Economy
Infecting overseas

Stocks high
Quick meltdown
What a Bear
Stearns, AIG aground
No more Lehman now

With my tanking investments
On my mind
Will vomit, please put me under
With my company facing tougher times
They are laying me off
No more change in my pocket
And my spending will stop
Which starts a cycle that’s toxic

Don’t you know that it’s toxic

With haste did this crisis
Go far and wide
Bjork’s land, Iceland, it’s slipping under
With a global recession, my brain is fried
Can’t believe that it’s true
Don’t you know that it’s toxic

Stimulate me now
Create new jobs right now
I can’t count on Dow
Geithner, show us how
Detoxicate me now
With your package now
I know I’m ready now

Sing to the music of "Jesus Loves Me."

Britney is news! This I know.
For the Media tell me so.
Little minds to Them belong
We are weak, and They are strong.

Yes, this is now news.
Yes, parties and booze.
Yes, undies she'll lose.

For my Dateline tells me so.

Opinion is news! This I know.
For the pundits tell me so.
Lots of facts that they get wrong
We don't know, so we go along.

Yes, give me more views.
Yes, truth be abused.
Yes, my thoughts, you choose.

For I'll let you tell me so. 

Money makes news! This I know.
Story placement tells me so.
Little ones in Darfur die.
'Cause their page views aren't that high.

Yes, news has changed much.
Yes, it's corporate and drudge.
Yes, still I read such.

Though my conscience tells me no.
