lyrics

T'was in the first year of the new depression
In real estate the prices fell like lead
A grumpy old dude who just got evicted
Wrote these words on his newspaper bed

Chorus: All you bondholders, bankers
and fuckheads in the firms
When I meet you on my street
I'll see that you get burned
I'll kick your teeth on down your throats
and pull them out your arse
Watch out when I get you,
Years of depression will be yours
Be yours, be yours, Years of depression
will be yours

Soon came the second year of the depression
Numerous countries starved to feed the banks
Their populations pushed their eyes and wondered
Yet some them heard these words from the cranks

Chorus: All you bondholders...

Yet came the third year of depression
Social system crumbled down like chalk
The people heard the blabbering of their leaders
Fools got nothing to say and yet they talk

Chorus: All you bondholders...

And now beging the fourth year of depression
Do we remein speechless longer on
or remember that all streets are our streets indeed
And smash up rules and rulers one by one

Chorus: All you bondholders...
