It's a TARP!
The (Shipped) Gold Standard
Fall Out Boy
Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now
But I'm no good at math and besides the dollar is down
Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold
Gotta feel the windchill again before I get old
I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know were gonna leave this town
Get new passports and get get get get get out now
The yes men said, "No comment,"
My mouth got going the wrong way
And all the calls started snowing
The time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab
And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back
I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know were gonna leave this town
Get new passports and get out now
Tell that boy I'll you leave alone now
Like a stove I'll turn my love down
Supra and the prophet are both in the business of souls (I just wanna be somewhere in between)
I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs
But I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
You can only blame your problems on the world for so long
Before it all becomes the same old song
As soon as we hit the hospital I know were gonna leave this town
Get new passports and get get get get get out now
Did anyone get the joke? I suppose not.. I'm the only nerd in these parts. This post is a little different from my others, in that I'm actually including the Artist and the name of the track of the lyrics to the left. It's from Fall Out Boy's new CD, which is great. Anyways, some of you may be aware that I actually read the news. I browse some news reporting websites and read the stories that interest me. I tend to be aware of the more public political scandals and world events.
The Troubled Assets Relief Program or 'bailout package' is one of those things that is really important but manages to get ignored in the media because it's not as interesting as Siamese twins with two heads and one body. I don't really understand the intricacies of it (does anyone? I miss having Johnathan explain this stuff to me) but I hear that the Porn industry has officially requested a bailout as well. I hear it now. HEADLINE NEWS! Congress approves a bill granting the pornography industry Five Billion Dollars! Of course.. that won't fly in the face of public opinion.
Hopefully I'll be inspired to make more posts involving the news. Until then I'll continue to giggle at my joke in the subject line. It really is a good one.
