I'M IN A BAILED OUT STATE OF MIND



BAILED STATE OF MIND
(New York State of Mind, Billy Joel)

Some Wall Street shnooks like make get away
From the neighbourhood b'fore its too late
Hop a flight to Palm Beach
or to Cap d' Antibe
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a Bailed Out state of mind

I've seen all the structured finance stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high on the DOW in the low 14s
But I know that I'm bleeding
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a Bailed Out state of mind

It was so easy trading day by day
Out of touch with how ordinary working cats pay their dues
But now I need a little give and take
From the New York Times, The Daily Show too

It comes down to subprime reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Ponzi town or on AIG's backside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a Bailed Out state of mind

It was so easy trading day by day
Out of touch with the working man's blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily Show too

It comes down to subprime reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if we're called Ponzi clowns and Bonus & Clydes
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a Bailed Out state of mind

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a Bailed Out state of mind
