Subpriminal Blues

I bought me a house

with payments lower than rent

but when a year passed by

Oh, you know where they went

they jacked 'em up sky high

so the bank could make it's buck

I told 'em I was broke...

but they ain't give a f---

down on my luck, stuck,

runnin' outa time

all because I signed a line

that said somethin' like subprime

I'm spendin' what I saved

can't buy gifts for christmas

everytime my dues get paid

they say thank you for your business

but karma is a b---h

the banks are failin now

and the federal reserve's

got the nerve to bail them out

throwin fuel upon the flames

and smoke all in our eyes

fix a problem with the problem

and choke us all with lies

everyone wants somebody

to lend them a sum of money

but when someone in need may ask-

they're laughin' like it's funny

with no food upon the fork

we might as well foreclose

let the bank pop the cork

and snort it up his nose
