White Collar Blues

ASCAP
I signed 6 white papers to get my blue chip stocks
but my green backs were fading as the prices dropped like rocks
My head was dancing with yellow fever as my blue moon was reclining
I saw my blue blooded margin call drop its silver linings
Now there's black holes arisin'in my bank account
there's red tape on my visa card ...that's what this is all about
Take the whitewash off that red alert the situation's getting tragic
Blacklist the white elephants and work some of your ole black magic
I can't pay my laundrey bill ...there's gray matter on my shirt
I'm glad I have my green thumb to search for new pay dirt
What am I gonna do? I need a few new pairs of shiny shoes
I've got something I like to call...the white collar blues
