The Arrogant Worms - Proud To Be A Banker lyrics

I'm proud to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker 'Cause I get to play with other people's money I'm having a lousy day I burned my toast and spilled my coffee On my best shirt. So I had to change and then I'm late for work. So I rush into the meeting Where they are discussing what my future in the corporation is And I don't really give a damn But I don't have another job And so I lie and say I'm proud to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker 'Cause I get to talk to stimulating people I open up my mail Hoping that it's not a bill but it's from the bank Saying that I have only 20 hours to go To contribute to my RRSP for this tax year So I run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineup And I'm yelling and I'm screaming And I'm not wearing any pants ah ah ah ah ahhhhh I'm proud to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker 'Cause I get to screw with other people's lives I took out 40 bucks From the automatic teller. It told me That I couldn't 'cause I just had 10 But that can't be 'cause I just got paid on Friday So I go down to the bank, wait an hour in the lineup And I'm talking to the teller She says "Wait I'll get your last month's statement" She comes back in 7 hours Says I've got some interest charges and a cheque from Uncle Bill That bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for that And for the box I never opened and I don't have overdraft protection And I think I'll die before I pay off all that I owe and I don't even Own a car I'm pleased to be a banker I'm proud to be a banker I'm pleased to be a banker 'Cause I get to play with other people's money (HE'S A BANKER) Would you please endorse this cheque? (HE'S A BANKER) Do you have any a**ets? (HE'S A BANKER) You should buy you shouldn't rent (HE'S A BANKER) The cheque will cost you fifty cents (IT WILL COST YOU FIFTY CENTS) (He's a banker and he says that it will cost you fifty cents He's a banker and he says that it will cost you fifty cents) (IT WILL COST YOU FIFTY CENTS)
