The Night They Drove My Business Down

This is for you, Resident O'Bama. No, you didn't build that.

Virgil McCain is the name, and I saved in the GM vein

Till Bama's bankruptcy came and tore up contracts again

In the winter of 2012, we were hungry, just barely alive

By May the tenth, Dow Jones had fell

It's a time I remember oh so well

The night they drove my business down

Exchange bells were ringing

The night they drove my business down

And the people were singing

They went, "La, la, la, we live in La-La Land"

Back then my girlfriend watched TV, when one day she called me in

"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Edward Saverin"

Now, I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good

Ya take what ya need, and ya leave the rest

But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove my business down

Exchange bells were ringing

The night they drove my business down

And all the people were singing

They went, "La, la, la, we live in La-La Land"

Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man

And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand

He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but the ATF laid him in his grave

I swear by the mud below my feet

You can't raise McCain back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove my business down

Exchange bells were ringing

The night they drove my business down

And all the people were singing

They went, "Na, na, na, you didn't build that"

The night they drove my business down

All exchange bells were ringing

The night they drove my business down

And the people were singing

They went, "Na, na, na, you didn't build that"
