Lyrics Mighty Good Road – Wall Street Would | New Today Lyrics

Wall Street would and Wall Street could
And Wall Street does just that
‘Cause Wall Street lends and Wall Street bends
Every broken law in the land

And if you had clients that trusted you with billions
In personal fortunes and corporate accounts
Would call them muppets and pawns and pikers
And say let’s go and rip their eyeballs out?

Wall Street would and Wall Street could
And Wall Street does just that
And Wall Street speaks in Wall Street cheek
And they’ll dig you with a tip of a hat

And if your billion-dollar bets and gambles
Killed the economy the whole world around
Would you cry to Congress that taxes were too high
And ship your stolen fortune to an offshore account?

Wall Street would and Wall Street could
And Wall Street does just that
‘Cause Wall Street knows that Wall Street owns
Every politician in the land

And if you had good buddies at all the other banks
Who all worked together in a global cartel
Would you call in a favor to lie about some numbers
So you could make more money for yourself?

Wall Street would and Wall Street could
And Wall Street does just that
‘Cause Wall Street cooks when Wall Street books
And it’s not what you’d call standardized math

And if you were caught red-handed and shamed before the nation
In all your lies and underhanded deeds
Would you feign repentance and swear you learned your lesson
And promise to change and never to repeat?

Well Wall Street won’t and Wall Street don’t
And Wall Street just can’t fail
‘Cause if Wall Street cheats and Wall Street bleeds
Not one guilty man will go to jail
Not one guilty man will go to jail
Not one guilty man from Wall Street goes to jail
