lyrics

Bankoland

The place where it hurts most
Is deep in your pocket
A smart in a spot
That you hold so dear

For anything less now
You'd never fire your rockets
War, women or witchcraft
Could never stir your fear

Now someone has taken your money
You know you ain’t getting it back
You might not think that it’s funny
But they’re laughing in Bankoland
And toking on big cigars

You trusted in God like
It says on the dollar
‘Till the eagle swooped down and
Took it from your hand

And feathered its nest with
Faith from Goodfellas
'Till the time was ripe for
Preying on all the land

Chorus

Who is it that’s taken your money…
