Snider, Todd - New York Banker Lyrics
All these years, Arkansas, teachin' at the high school
How was I to know by retirement day, I'd learn a lesson so cruel?
I came to the day I had waited on just to find out all the money in our pension was gone
We invested in somethin' called the Abacus Bond, sold to us by a New York banker
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
A big time banker from New York City came down south one day
Sold our people on the bond, had our money bettin' on some kinda home loans getting paid
Buy it they say, we were clearly told this kinda thing was even safer than gold
But later on we found out the bond we'd been sold had been set up to fail all along
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
Come to find out the bond born to fail'd been built so that banker could bet his bread against it
When the house market crashed, our retirement did too, everybody said there was nothing we could do
That banker walked off with a million or two, I'm still teachin' at the high school
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
Good things happen to bad people, bad people, bad people
