Wall St. Wisdom (Lyrics)

Brown nose, serving time, focus on the bottom line
Servant of the dollar bill, master of the overkill
Fiery hoop high jump, God the Father Donald Trump
Long hours, job is wife, Wall Street Journal, Book of Life

Move quick, hit hard, never let down your guard
Get ahead, all that matters, stomp the snakes, climb the ladders
Good choice, good call, celebrate with alcohol
Bad choice, bad luck, save your butt and pass the buck

[You will reap whatever you will sow
Sow the seeds and watch the money grow]

I don’t know
About the Wall St. wisdom
Trying to make the money grow
I don’t know
Just where your loyalty lies
There’s a clash between the love
And the dollar signs
In your eyes
In your eyes

Dance fast, die young, ears ring, burnt tongue
Watch close, catch your cue, tip the doorman, tame the shrew
Get laid, drink hard, put it on your credit card
Build a home, build a debt, piper’s not through playing yet

Back-stabbing blind passion, loyalty is out of fashion,
Feel good, tunnel vision, set aside the big decision
High-rolling hijinks, dice are hot but something stinks
Stupid question don’t ask it, gaze into the open casket

[You will reap whatever you will sow
Sow the seeds and watch the money grow]

I don’t know
About the Wall St. wisdom
Trying to make the money grow
I don’t know
Just where your loyalty lies
There’s a clash between the love
And the dollar signs
In your eyes
In your eyes
