Lyrics
The Billionaire Blues” words & music by The Whale (c) 2012 Fiat Lux ASCAP Old Bill Ford’s a billionaire He thinks I can live on water and air Pays big money five dollars a day, But the agency takes its share No health insurance, no union dues. I kind of miss them old Cold War Blues My hungry child ain’t got no shoes, But the agency takes its share Billionaires oh billionaires Them billionaires are everywhere They own the ground they own the air And they don’t have to pay their share hey, leave some for the rest of US that Donald Trump’s a billionaire He sure does have some funny hair He says your fired on the TV show I'd like to tell him just where to go that Rupert Murdock’s a billionaire His media empire rules the air That No Spin Zone is every where But you know it ain't balanced or fair His propaganda plays like news You know you’ll get the narrow view Right Wing Politico cheer leader crew They made a dupe out of you & me Billionaires oh billionaires Them billionaires are everywhere Your money doesn’t talk it swears And you know it ain't balanced or fair Greedy bastards! Our Congress thinks they’re billionaires They spend our money everywhere From Abramoff they grabbed their share And I wonder who really cares I bet Dick Cheney’s a billionaire Cause Halliburton’s everywhere Got a no bid deal on a twenty year war I kinda wonder just what it’s for? Billionaires oh billionaires Them billionaires are everywhere Your money doesn’t talk it swears and you know it ain’t ballaced or fair How much does one man need? That Walton family’s billionaires Their Wal Mart Stores are everywhere Employee abuse beyond compare They’re all on Medicare No health insurance, no union dues. I kind of miss them old Cold War Blues My hungry child ain’t got no shoes, Low prices who really cares? Billionaires oh billionaires Them billionaires are everywhere They own the ground they own the air And you know it ain't balanced or fair I wish I was a billionaire I’d spend that money everywhere I’d quit my job and grow my hair And I wouldn’t have to pay No I wouldn’t have to pay And I wouldn’t have to pay my share Hee haw, The Billionaire Blues
