DESCRIPTION:
Hank Shizzoe: "Like It's 1929" from the album SONGSMITH out now on Blue Rose Records. Produced by Stephan Eicher. New, improved version of the "Like It's 1929" clip. Now comes without color so you can concentrate on the lyrics:

Like It's 1929

Not big enough to fail
No slim and shady deals to nail
No foreclosure sign
Party like it's 1929

It's strictly business, I know
Get your hedges and funds in a row
If you would be so kind
Party like it's 1929

Hey there Mister CFO
Dig these signs on the greenback and on your floor
Pyramids, tools, blinking eyes
Party like it's 1929

You don't read the paper, do you
You have it written for you
Everybody scream we're doing fine
Party like it's 1929

Aw, the good folks down in Greece
Would some German be so kind and help them please?
Also the young people need jobs in Spain
The misery, the suffering, but hey, at least it won't rain

Hands off these pension funds
You're just begging to get smartbombed
Let's just say this war's divine
Party like it's 1929

Mr. Goldman, Mr. Sachs
Shorting stocks, shorting facts
Having a grand old time
Party like it's 1929

Creating growth, destroying jobs
Working for the pinstripe mob
Celebrate a world of crime
Party like it's 1929

All these books on all these shelves
History does repeat itself
Listen closely, hit rewind
Party like it's 1929

Now they used to have farms over there in Ireland
Somebody please give these tigers a hand
All you can see in their eyes is fear
They drown it in that strange dark beer
Down in Portugal
All they cared about was football
Now they can't even afford shoes
They sing their own kind of blues

All you right-wing backstabbers
You liberal backslappers
It's time for you to resign
Party like it's 1929

Yeah we got it it's a crisis
This minus is like a virus
I feel a tingling down my spine
Party like it's 1929
