EmThere's one guy I'd like to thank he signs the checks and leaves them blank
he's the Bmone
he says you dEmon't have to walk a plank the game is rigged, go figure
Bmslide show tanked
and your flagshipD sank

we're taGking our myB7ths to the
we’reEm drinking aA fifth to the
we're takinGg all our Fmyths to the Embank OhB7 no

EmIf you could just do him this favor, although it might involve child labor
join his enBmtourage give him a foot massage

he floods the market there's no price protection
and when Ghis master pB7lan is unfurled
There stCands a handsome bid on the wAeather systems of the woGrld
