Wall Street Blues Lyrics - The Well's On Fire - Procol Harum

You bought the pitch 

The whole nine yards 

The shiny dream 

The house of cards 

But now your dream's 

Gone down the drain 

The house of cards 

A house of pain 

They promised riches 

Over-night 

They stitched you up 

It hurts alright 

They took your money 

An' your shoes 

And now you've got 

The Wall Street blues

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You bought the dream 

New lamps for old 

You thought the streets 

Were paved with gold 

They filled your hands 

With tinsel and glitter 

It tasted sweet 

But soon turned bitter 

You took the bait 

They reeled you in 

An' now the future's 

Lookin' grim 

They took your money 

And your shoes 

And now you've got 

The Wall Street blues 

Photos 

They said the market 

Could never go down 

They took your savings 

And then left town 

They couldn't have done it 

Without your greed 

They only satisfied 

A need 

You tried to make 

An easy buck 

They pulled the plug 

And now you're stuck 

They took your money 

And your shoes 

I guess you've got 

The Wall Street blues
