Ode to a Dying Dollar, from Kim Zussman
To the tune of Roy Orbison's Crying:
I was all right…for a while,
I could smile…for a while
But your central bank put me in the tank
Can you not debase me….so
Oh, you wished me well, but you couldn't tell
That I've been dying over you, dying over you
And you said, so long
Left me on my own
Alone and dying, dying, dying
It's hard to understand that just one sentence can
Start me dying
Thought that we were through
Helicopter view
Even faster than before
But what can I do
For you don't love me and I'll forever be
Dying 'cause of you, dying 'cause of you
Dying…dying….dying
