More Today

Dedicated to the downfall at Lehman

MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY (as sung by the Downward Spiral Staircase)

 

Why wouldn't anyone trade with us

Because the shorts stuck a blade in us

Next thing we knew our stock price evaporated

And if all our dreams come true

It will rebound back to 2.

 

We took on risk to book more revenues

With a bull market we just could not lose.

We had no liquidity when the market started turning

No one stepped up til we filed.

Tell me were we all beguiled?

 

Oh, our stock's worth less today than yesterday
But still worth more than tomorrow
Our shorts made more today than yesterday
But, darn it, not as much as tomorrow

 

He worked at Lehman for thirty years.

Such loyalty should earn him more than jeers.

He wouldn't back down when our stock started plunging.

Though our net worth vanished quick

Our stockholders still got Dick.

 

Oh, Our discount's more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
Our bonds fell more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
