Could be the greatest song ever written about stocks and the stock market.

lyrics

“TICKER TAPE”

I just bought stock in war
I hope tomorrow the price soars
Barbed wires a bitch, but I’ve got this itch
Rooting for war’s gonna make me rich
I just bought stock in cancer
I’ll make a killing when they find the answer
Lab rats are nice, but so are white mice
You get them for half the price

Here it comes again
Here comes my friend
The ticker tape never ends
The ticker tape never ends

I just bought stock in disasters
So what if I’m a big fat bastard
Droughts are too slow, earthquakes are the way to go
Always sell high and buy low
I just bought stock in jails
Hope the judge denies the bad ones bail
If I had my say, I’d lock them all away
Let a horny guy named Bubba have his way

(Chorus)

Who cares what stocks you buy
No one’s ever gonna ask you why
No one’s ever gonna learn, or be concerned
What you’ve got your soul invested in

(Chorus)

The ticker tape never ends
The ticker tape never ends
The ticker tape never ends
The ticker tape never ends
