Story behind the song
Lest we forget, the post Reagan anti-regulation mentality, revered by W and McCain, has a major downside.
Lyrics
You want to buy some real estate it’s late 2 thousand 2 The market’s bustin’ through the roof, what are you gonna do? You find yourself a broker who used to sell used cars But now he’s rollin’ in the dough and stuffin it in jars He’s got no subprime blues, he’s got no subprime blues And if your credit’s in the gutter, he knows exactly what to do “Your income has too much outgo, the numbers need a tweak, We’ll find a way to beef ‘em up, I’ll call you in a week,” He finds a willing lender who looks the other way Securitize your shortcomings, adjust the rate you’ll pay You’ll get the subprime blues x2 That charming little starter home is what you have to lose You look back on the White House, you see old Double Yew Neoconservative poster boy and subprime through and through We’ve got the subprime blues x2 He won’t do no regulatin’ because hasn’t got a clue The bubbles all are burstin’ and the housing market’s down That broker took the money and ran, he’s nowhere to be found Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both need some bailing out Wall street fat cats getting thin, they all begin to shout They got the subprime blues x3 and everybody gets to lose We got the subprime blues x3 and every body gets to lose
