(Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Will Kimbrough)
Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed
That the news is all bad
Well, I think it's time for a song about that
Up on the east side of Manhattan
They're still dancing with the stars
While over in sub-prime city
It's getting ugly in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There's too much going wrong
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
And write a high speed drinking song
Millionaires losing everything
Hey, welcome to the other side of life
There goes the yacht there goes the Rolls
But, you get to keep your wife
And don't forget the automakers
Swimming upstream like a trout
They let the shit hit the fan
And then made a plan
We've got a lot to drink about
There's the price of oil
The war of the spoils
Here's your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We've got a lot to drink about
Now Madoff made off with all the money
And his clients are down to skunk weed
Repeat after me it's so easy to see
We're only talking simple greed
And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold
While Bush and Cheney ain't around
And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
From Key West to London town
With the price of oil
War of the spoils
Here's your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We've got a lot to drink about
So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loud mouth soup
Can get ya kind of looped
Tequila, of course I want some!
Well the family devalues
And little children count their net worth
And the truth wherever it's hiding
Can't be found on Google Earth
Citibank's buying jets with our money
I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip
Let's hope Barack and Joe won't let the volcano blow
And patch the hole in our sinking ship
There's the price of oil
The war of the spoils
Here's your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We've got a lot to drink about
Recession, opression, depression good God
CNN keeps bummin' me out
I can't take another doomsday minute
Got a lot to drink
A lot to think
A lot to drink about
God bless America
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
