Hey, they've bent us over like an American and stuck it too us. I think enough is enough, so I'm saying something about it.
A mix of Political Satire / Facetious Comedy and some more serious music.
I 'm The Whale and I approve this message. I write songs about life here in America, because that's where I am.
On thing I really like about songwriting is that you can tell the truth unequivocally and hopefully develop a fan base.
Story behind the song
I told Juan we needed to update the lyrics for Working For Gas.
He said how about Goldman and Sachs? It took about a week to write
the new lyrics based on current events.

We had to bail them out because they're too big to fail
Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
Got a mortgage based investment in my 401 K
Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
Now it aint worth five dollars, I'll have to work till the grave,
I'll be working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs
The S.E.C. missed it, watching internet porn
Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
a Senate Subcommittee called them out on the floor
Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
They took a tongue lashing, then they walked out the door
yeah they're Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
Goldman & Sachs, Goldman & Sachs
This whole crazy world works for Goldman & Sachs
Flipping Burghers for Sachs, their Golden Calf's on our backs
You know this love of mammon's led the world off its track
They grabbed our dough hidey hidey hidey ho, yeah they're
Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
Guitar Solo Lord have mercy!
They pucrhased puppet leaders who will lie and deceive.
Working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs
The epitome of greed is the call of their creed
Working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs
Hey, can you spot me some TARP Funds, I got two dollars left
I'm just working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs
The market makers smile because they're all getting fat
Working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs
I think they're all lying, they know where it's at
Working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs hey
Can you cut me some TARP Funds only ten billion left
I'm just working for Goldman, Goldman & Sachs
Goldman & Sachs, Goldman & Sachs
This whole crazy world works for Goldman & Sachs
we ought to give em the axe, their Golden Calf's on our backs
You know this love of mammon's led the world off its track
They sold their souls, hidey hidey hidey ho, yeah they're
Goldman & Sachs babe, Goldman & Sachs
