“And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand, poor boy, the only things that I understand” Hoyt Axton

She’s not a guitar player nor a folk singer,
She is a model modeling clothes.
She is very well-versed in her money that she makes,
It is pity she is not in charge of our fiscal policy,
She knows what Federal Reserve knows.

The dollar was taken off the gold system under Nixon,
The dollar was traded for other instruments, Marks, Pounds, Yen, and the lot,
Long before the Euro was in place,
The artificial economy that the USA had perpetuated came down
And bit us in the ass,
That’s why we are paying $3.35 for a gallon of gas.
There is no faith and trust in economy that floats,
If it floats well we are in the drivers seat,
If it suffers by war, instability, bad loans (mortgages) ,
Mentions of military against Iran and propping up Pakistan.
The peculators are squeamish,
The Wall Street animals are bearish not bullish.

Gisele Bundchen knows what it is and knows what it is not.
She is making sure that she signs a contract,
The money doesn’t depreciate before she gets it.
But she doesn’t it all the same when you get it out from wash.
The artificial economy can be what ever you make of it,
She ought to make sure that she paid as in days of old,
By not dollars, euros, pounds etc., but by silver and gold.
