People Will Say

People Will Say We're In Love

Why do they make up stories that take our spreads to highs?

Why are the talking heads always mocking at our cries?

I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue.

Here is the gist, a practical list, of don'ts and do's.

Promise high interest rates

Don't hedge the currency

Act like there's no urgency

People will say we are PIIGS**

Leverage our real estate

It's great til the market tanks

the sovereign will prop up our banks

People will say we are PIIGS

Protest austerity

our situation ain't dire

It's best if you care for me

I'm forty I should retire.

Some people claim that we are to blame for this, our plight.

Why should they hate that we sleep in late or drink all night?

They will extend the debt that was lent us from their banks

Watch the ol' chaps avoid the collapse of Euros & francs

Make sure entitlements

surpass our GDP

shun responsibility

People will say we are PIIGS

Where should we turn for help?

Panic's a rarity.

Germanic means charity.

People will say we are PIIGS.

Delaying judgment day

deriding the rules that we flout

Display how we're making hay

'til the EU kicks us out!
