Alice and Me

Now Freddie Mack And Sallie Mae Live in a shack Their debt obligation collateralized Advanced state of deception But let's keep going Short of cash, broke Like all the US banks Running out of money In this surreal free for all Where barking dogs And screeching cats Testify before Congress Watched by sane observers On the shore With manicured nails And fresh pressed dresses Who stare at us with Glazed hard marble eyes While they lose their homes This exertion Reduced us to tatters With all the rest of the mad hatters Who cry for government guarantees Beg for automobile subsidies While looking for Alice, we lost our jobs Running from the disenfranchised mob
