The Lyrics
Could be set in the UK or the US (or any other wealthy country)
The bankers ought to get the chop
They’re greedy an’ they know no shame
They’ve ruined this country we love
Their bonus is the same
They’ve got it…no maybe, they’ve got it
Well, it’s their bonus…my life dire but they’ll retire
Well, they will bone us…they’ve got prior, I’m in the mire
Their plunders cause us to despise
Takin’ all that we had
Pat on the back and cigar
For a job done so bad
They’ve got it…no maybe, they’ve got it
Well, it’s their bonus…my life dire but they’ll retire
Well, they will bone us…they’ve got prior, I’m in the mire
They’ve got it…no maybe, they’ve got it
Well, it’s their bonus…my life dire but they’ll retire
Well, the will bone us…they’ve got prior, I’m in the mire
They’re greedy an’ they know no shame
They’ve ruined this country we love
Their bonus is the same
They’ve got it…no maybe, they’ve got it
Well, it’s their bonus…my life dire but they’ll retire
Well, they will bone us…they’ve got prior, I’m in the mire
Their plunders cause us to despise
Takin’ all that we had
Pat on the back and cigar
For a job done so bad
They’ve got it…no maybe, they’ve got it
Well, it’s their bonus…my life dire but they’ll retire
Well, they will bone us…they’ve got prior, I’m in the mire
They’ve got it…no maybe, they’ve got it
Well, it’s their bonus…my life dire but they’ll retire
Well, the will bone us…they’ve got prior, I’m in the mire

Great banker bashing. And you're right. It fits either county! Bonus of 555 pounds or dollars to you...
Sad, but true. A well-deserved skewering, and beautiful pacing!
i was a licensed lender. i had to write some of these loans THE LIBERALS IN POWER DEMANDED LENDERS WRITE. LIBERALS MADE LENDERS CREATE PROGRAMS FOR LOOZZZZORS AND THOSE NOT READY YET.
dont blaim the lenders when DEMONCRATS INTERFEAR with the supply side economics that helped make America the world power in less than 250 years. all 57 states had to write these loans. thanks liberals...and thanks for owning up as usual
I agree with the sentiment. They are looking for a bonus on our tax money - good write Andy.
direct hit..good one
Good job on this. It's amazing how the very people who are running the businesses into the ground are walking away with all the money instead of going to jail.
Thanks all
