WELL WE'RE BIG CAP SLINGERS
WE GOT GOLDEN FINGERS (PARACHUTES)
AND WE'RE HATED EVERYWHERE WE GO

WE SING ABOUT EXCUSES
AND WE SING ABOUT PROMISES
AT TEN MILLION DOLLARS A SHOW

WE DO ALL KINDS OF FLEECIN'
'CAUSE THE BOARD'S NOT POLICIN'
BUT THE FLEECIN' YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN

IS THE FLEECIN' THAT WILL GET'CHA
WHEN YOU SEE THE PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF BARRON'S AND MOAN

chorus;
GOING TO SEE GM PICTURE ON THE COVER
CAN'T AFFORD A COPY FOR MY MOTHER
GONNA SEE MY FACE A LAUGHIN' AND A STARE'N
AT THE COVER OF THE WEEKLY BARRON

WE'VE GOT A CHAIRMAN WHO'S SLICKY
NAMED RED INK RICKY
WHO'S LEADIN' US DOWN THE WRONG PATH
WE'VE GOT OUR POOR OLD GRAY HAIR RETIREES
DRIVING THE SHAREHOLDER WRATH

NOW LETS ALL DECIDE
TO CHANGE OUR MINDS
BUT OUR MINDS WON'T REALLY BE CHANGED

LIKE THE CHANGE THAT WILL GET'CHA
SEE'N "BUY" IN THE PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF BARRON'S AS STRANGE

chorus

WE GOT ALLOT OF LITTLE
SECOND TIER WORKERS
WHO'D DO ANYTHING WE'D SAY

WE GOT A GENUINE INDIAN SUBCONTRACTOR
HE'S TEACHING US A CHEAPER WAY
WE GOT ALL THE UNION LEADERS THAT MONEY CAN BUY
SO WE NEVER HAVE TO OVERPAY

AND WE KEEP GETTING THINNER
'CAUSE RICK, HE'S A SKINNER
WHO STILL ISN'T CARIN'

WHILE HE'S GETTIN' RICHER
WE DID GET OUR PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF THIS WEEK'S BARRON
