about

an earlier version of the song recorded in 2011, that ended up being re-recorded for the DR SCARDO album.

I wrote this song after hearing a small time broker called Alessio Rastani being interviewed on TV, he talked about being excited at the prospect of another stock market crash, just like the one in1929, saying that he'd make a fortune. Re-discovered the track on my hard drive and decided to release as nothing much has changed, and the same principals of greed and self-interest have led us to Brexit....

lyrics

WALL STREET HUSTLE

My name’s Alessio Rastani
I am such a clever man
I’m dreaming of a crash
Just like the one in ’29
A man like me can make his fortune
from the falling Dow Jones
Who cares if profiteering means that people lose their homes?

Wall Street hustle
Bring on the dancing bear
Wall Street Hustle
We got the lion’s share
Wall Street hustle
Too right the hell we care.

My name is 99 percent I’m
just a working man
I put a lot of money in a
corporate pension plan
But someone bought and sold my future
like a sack of beans
He gambled all my cash away - just left me
with my dreams.

Wall Street hustle
Bring on the dancing bear
Wall Street Hustle
We got the lion’s share
Wall Street hustle
Too right the hell we care.

My name’s Alessio Rastani
I’m so very smug
I play to win - you lose - yeah
Let’s be honest you’ve been mugged
By corporate greed and things our governments
should not allow
our pointless politicians live in bankers pockets now

Wall Street hustle
Bring on the dancing bear
Wall Street Hustle
We got the lion’s share
Wall Street hustle
Too right the hell we care.
