Song | Wall Street Blues |
Artist | Procol Harum |
Album | The Well's on Fire |
作词 : Brooker, Reid | |
You bought the pitch | |
The whole nine yards | |
The shiny dream | |
The house of cards | |
But now your dream's | |
Gone down the drain | |
The house of cards | |
A house of pain | |
They promised riches | |
Over-night | |
They stitched you up | |
It hurts alright | |
They took your money | |
An' your shoes | |
And now you've got | |
The Wall Street blues | |
You bought the dream | |
New lamps for old | |
You thought the streets | |
Were paved with gold | |
They filled your hands | |
With tinsel and glitter | |
It tasted sweet | |
But soon turned bitter | |
You took the bait | |
They reeled you in | |
An' now the future's | |
Lookin' grim | |
They took your money | |
And your shoes | |
And now you've got | |
The Wall Street blues | |
They said the market | |
Could never go down | |
They took your savings | |
And then left town | |
They couldn't have done it | |
Without your greed | |
They only satisfied | |
A need | |
You tried to make | |
An easy buck | |
They pulled the plug | |
And now you're stuck | |
They took your money | |
And your shoes | |
I guess you've got | |
The Wall Street blues |

The house of cards | |
But now your dream' s | |
Gone down the drain | |
The house of cards | |
A house of pain | |
They promised riches | |
Overnight | |
They stitched you up | |
