Lyrics - Proud To Be A Banker by Arrogant Worms

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 burn my toast and spill my coffeeon my best shirt.
So
I had to change and then
I'm late for work.
So
I rush into the meetingwhere they are discussing what my future in the corporation isand
I don't really give a damnbut
I don't have another joband 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 mailhoping that it's not a bill but it's from the banksaying that
I have only 20 hours to goto contribute to my
RRSP for this tax yearso
I run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineupand
I'm yelling and
I'm screamingand
I'm not wearing any pants ha ha ha ha
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 bucksfrom the automatic teller.
It told methat
I couldn't 'cause
I just had 10but that can't be 'cause
I just got paid on
Fridayso
I go down to the bank, wait an hour in the lineupand
I'm talking to the tellershe says "
Wait
I'll get your last month's statement"
She comes back in 7 hourssays
I've got some interest charges and a cheque from
Uncle
Billthat bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for thatand for the box
I never opened and
I don't have overdraft protectionand
I think
I'll die before
I pay off all that
I owe and
I don't evenown 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(
