Where has it gone
Where did it go
Run the bulls
Dead bears blow
We got your back
A can’t lose plan
Your retirement
Now in the can
Stocks and bonds
Crypto too
Bought it high
Now I’m through
The economy
In freefall dive
At this rate
I won’t survive
GICs and
Bars of gold
Are all that’s left
To buy and hold
War and oil
What a mess
Inflation soaring
Do more with less
Hanging on
For it to turn
’cause I don’t got
The dough to burn
If this don’t end
I just might
Climb to the top
Jump into the night

Ah, man. I hate playing the market. We decided to put some in a year ago, and we’ve only lost since then!
