Parody Song Title: "We're Deep In Recession And They Knew It"
Parody Written by: Mark Scotti



It's here, have some fear...
Too late, we saw the housing fake.
Lender snakes, over extend - Fannie Mae was not afraid.
Buyers start packing in, listen to defaults churn -
Yards start growing weeds,
Banks stuck with their deeds.
Look at your watch,
Kick in the crotch, plead, jobs go, gas blows.
Living structure splatter no hope in sight, things tight.
Liars on a wire, disputing mistakes made by our government for retired and safer life.
Big blur, never coming in a hurry with the resources to save our necks.
Scheme and scheme, new order look like chumps, weathered flop.
Look at that bank's blame! Fine them.
Oh no, savings go, bankrupt nation, chicken coop, what'll we do.
Lend oneself, help oneself.
Banks serve their own needs, listen to sounds of greed.
Had us so enraptured that the downfall left our sight - right.
It's symbolic, melancholic, damn, fright, no light, feeling very disliked.

(Chorus)
We're deep in recession and they knew it.
We're deep in recession and they blew it.
We're deep in recession and they knew it, we're out of time.

Set your clocks - Bitching hour. Didn't pay bill got no power.
Read and learn, concern, try to make yourself yearn.
Don't just be uniform and disconcerning, unforgetting.
Every effort escalates. Voices now improve our fate.
Light a candle, save the voltage. Don't clown, don't clown.
Don't get dreams crushed, crush.
Oh yeah, this seems so clear - new frontiers. Fight for aid with no fear!
They should regret, they should regret, they should regret, those lies.
Re-offer some solutions; re-offer us alternatives, a new design.

(Chorus)
We're deep in recession and they knew it.
We're deep in recession and they blew it.
We're deep in recession and they knew it, we're out of time.
(It's time we got thrown a bone)
(Repeat)

We have our rights, don't skip an instrumental plan to provide.
What will give delight? Calm, like fine wine.
Recover from the dead, stimulus, and safer banks.
Unite parties, no fakes, money back, soon!
Not alcoholic, patriotic, scams, in check, right? Fight!

(Chorus)
We're deep in recession and they knew it.
We're deep in recession and they blew it.
We're deep in recession and they knew it, we're out of time
