Investor's Blues (sung to the tune of Smuggler's Blues)
by Weird Al Spankovich

The Investor's got troubles tonight
I can feel it in my bones
I had a premonition that his buyer wouldn't get his loan
he knew the contract was loaded
but he thought he'd get his thrill
then everything exploded because
the value was unreal

So Mr. Investor here's a tissue, go blow your nose
You thought you'd make a lot of money now
but that's the way it goes
it didn't happen as you planned
you'd own it for twenty hours
and could have made twenty grand
Sorry it went down like this
someone had to lose
it's the nature of your business
it's the Investor's Blues
Investor's Blues

the appraisers and the brokers
the lenders and the law
the payoffs and the ripoffs
and the things nobody saw
it doesn't matter if it's illegal
and the housing markets crash
you've got to carry credit cards
because you're always short on cash
There's lots of shady characters
lots of dirty deals
Every name's an alias
in case somebody squeals
it's the lure of easy money
it's gotta very strong appeal
perhaps you'd understand it better
standing in my shoes
it's the ultimate insult
it's the Investor's Blues
Investor's Blues

See it in the headlines
you hear it everyday
they say they're gonna stop it
but it doesn't go away
they flip 'em in Miami
and even in L.A.
they flipped 'em up in Baltimore
and defrauded the FHA
Mr. Sheets and Straw Borrowers
are the flipper's glue
you ask any D.R.E. man
he'll say there's nothin we can do
from the office of Mr. Martinez
right down to me and you
me and you
it's a losing proposition
but one he can't refuse
it's the politics of lazy money
it's the Investor's Blues
