(Our Love’s) Too Big To Fail

We never called the tunes,

Not the smartest guys in the room

But all those guys are now in jail

You know, we took some hits

But never called it quits

Baby, our love's too big to fail

Fannie may mortgage the future

Bernie made off with the cash

Everyone wanted a bail out

But our love survived the crash

When nothin's fair and square

It's farewell to laissez-faire

It's always been the same old tale

But, they can foreclose us,

We'll sell the car and ride the bus

We’ll outlast whatever might assail

I know we can't know the future

But everything's gonna be fine

'Cause, baby, you're the one (percent)

And I'm your ninety-nine

No matter what they try

Still one thing a buck can't buy

When everything else is for sale

Why should we even care

If the market's bull when the cupboard's bare?

Baby, our love's too big to fail

Fannie may mortgage the future

Bernie made off with the cash

Everyone wanted a bail-out

But our love was meant to last
