A financial day of reckoning

Bonds, stocks, money market accounts
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, huge mortgage snacks, nothing like big macs
Frozen credit markets, frozen lovers, frozen peas and frozen beef, what will you eat

Sub-prime, credit default swaps, forced liquidation
Broke, broken, cracked and cracking
crashing dismally into uncertain times

LIBOR, libation, drink your worries away
Common paper shares, shared only by those who have

Mathematical calculations, attorneys & physicists work it all out
Credit of fear, radically attacked, deflated, is driving the bus

For those who have not saved, shoulda, it does not matter
Today, right now is what it's all about
Hour by hour to feed the baby
Minute by minute to stay alive
