Quicken Report post Posted March 11, 2011 Here's a reworking of the Dire Straits classic I came up with that expresses some of my feelings as a member of the priced-out generation. I thought it fitted here as I believe it reflects the market psychology of a lot of would-be first time buyers. Hope you like it. I want my, I want my HPC Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it You keep the rates low on the MPC That ain't working, that's the way you do it Money for nothing and the work's guilt-free Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it Let me tell you them guys ain't dumb Index-linked pension and a six figure salary Never get a blister on their thumb We got to work to save a deposit 9-to-5 is a distant memory We got to share or live with our parents We don't wanna be doing this at 40 The little banker with the pinstripe and the Rolex Yeah buddy, that's his own hair That little banker got his own jet airplane That little banker he's a millionaire We got to work to save a deposit 9-to-5 is a distant memory We got to share or live with our parents We don't wanna be doing this at 40 Look at that, look at that I should have learned to play at banking I should have learned to roll the dice Look at that MP, they got it flipping second homes all the time When can we have some? And he's up there, what's that? Printing press noises? Banging on the QE like a chimpanzee Oh, that ain't working, that's the way you do it Get your money for nothing and the work's guilt-free We got to work to save a deposit 9-to-5 is a distant memory We got to share or live with our parents We don't wanna be doing this at 40 Listen here Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it You keep the rates low on the MPC That ain't working, that's the way you do it Money for nothing and the work's guilt-free Money for nothing and work guilt-free Get your money for nothing, and the work's guilt-free Money for nothing, work guilt-free Look at that, look at that Get your money for nothing, and the work's guilt-free I want my, I want my, I want my HPC Money for nothing and work guilt-free Easy, easy That ain't working (Fade) I want my, I want my, I want my HPC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
