Banker's Son

(intro)

Ben Bernanke changed a number on a balance sheet

He shaved a dime off every buck I own

And the congress passed a law so the bank could take my house

And I don't even have a mortgage loan

(chorus 1)

Lord, I wish I was a banker's son

I'd take my jet to Rio, I'd lie there in the sun

Watching string bikinis goin' by, one by one

If I was a banker's son.

(V1)

If I was a banker's son I wouldn't have to try

Spending other people's money, watching other people cry

And I'd get myself a bailout, if ever I ran dry

If I was a banker's son

(V 2)

I was digging through my daddy's couch and I found a dollar bill

He said "Son, when I was younger, that used to buy a meal"

I should have raised you like a banker, should've taught you how to steal

You could've been a banker's son

(chorus 2)

Lord, I wish I was a banker's son

I'd take a jet to Rio, I'd be lying in the sun

And the TSA wouldn't grope my nuts, looking for their fun

If I was a banker's son

(V3)

I'd bet your pension on the market and I wouldn't count the cost

If I win I keep the profits, if I lose you take the loss

If you call the regulators, they'll tell you I'm the boss

'Cause I was born a banker's son.

(chorus 3)

Lord, how I wish I was a banker's son

Being born nobility sounds like lots of fun

But I was born a peasant, and they got me on the run

I never was no banker's son, no

I never was no banker's son.

Underneath this overpass it sure gets cold at night
If I can bum a cigarette its hard to find a light
I'd sleep on silk sheets, a supermodel at my side
If I was a banker's son.
