Global Debt Bomb - The Economic Striptease Song

This is safe to watch. The pasties do remain in place, and upon closer inspection they are actually gold coins.

Take a second to check out the lyrics printed below - Keynes, QE, bailouts, assets marked to fantasy, etc. - the comedian knows the issues pretty well.

Outstanding work by comedian Dominic Frisby...

From the original … ‘Sex Bomb’, by Guendogdu, Mustafa, Rennalls, Errol, sung by Tom Jones, published by Universal.

DEBT BOMB

(Lyrics by Dominic Frisby)

Aw, aw baby, yeah, ooh yeah, huh, listen to this

Mortgages, cars, consumer shite

Government spending all through the night

Pensions and healthcare and welfare rights

Education , wars to fight

Run up a deficit, ignore the facts

Blame someone else, put up tax

I can’t deny we had a crack

But now we gotta pay it back

Debt bomb, debt bomb, you’re a debt bomb uh hu

The addiction to credit just goes on and on and on – give it to me

Debt bomb, debt bomb, you’re a debt bomb

A bail-out ooh you’re turn me on

You know what you’re doing to me don’t you. ha ha,

I know you do

If you can’t afford it don’t be ill at ease – no

Spend it anyway, you’ve got voters to appease

Take the prudent savers and just give them a squeeze

That’s the economics of Keynes

Quantitative easing, zero interest rates

Steal from the future, hide the bad mistakes

We gotta keep those asset prices high

Don’t matter if the credit’s dry

Debt bomb, debt bomb, you’re a debt bomb uh hu

Try to pay the debt off with inflation

Debt bomb, debt bomb, you’re a debt bomb

Malinvestment ooh you’re turn me on

A boom brought about by credit will always bust

You’ve then got two choices, decide you must

Abandon the addiction, the credit lust

Or the currency collapses , it just turns to worthless dust

Debt bomb, debt bomb, you’re a debt bomb uh hu

Destroy the country’s money, anything to carry on

Debt bomb, debt bomb, you’re a debt bomb

Bubbles ooh you’re turn me on
