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
Ooh, I love a good war 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
chapeau!
Great stuff! Smart, savvy and extremely funny. Can`t stop watching it over and over. Must have hit replay button 20 times by now.
Masterpiece!
Love it. I’m about to hit the replay button for the umpteenth time
A masterpiece. The most accurate and funny report of the world financial situation I’ve ever seen.
Absolutely brilliant work. May be this is a way to explain the real situation on a funny way. We laughed here as we saw it the first time, but it´s nothign to lough – it´s great art. All my best wishes for you ! Great, great, great.
Tout simplement magnifique+++

Absolutely great stuff!!! I found your video at http://dollarcollapse.com, which is a fantastic site for economic understanding by the way. It was included in the section titled the “Art of Collapse.” This video is priceless. I hope you will consider doing a performace on SNL during our precsidential election process here in the US this november! :^)
I email out a daily clippings political new service (goes all over EU, US, Croatia, Iceland) – this has to be the number one link tomorrow.
La bombe de la dette, la bombe de la dette, vous êtes une bombe de la dette. La dépendance au crédit continue encore et encore donnez la moi. La bombe de la dette, la bombe de la dette, vous êtes une bombe de la dette. Le sauvetage que vous mettez en action pour moi.
Very clever…. I never thought economics could be saucy…
funny…thanks in all this we need a laugh
not only is this one of the best videos about the economy, i just fell in love with peggy de lune. im going to marry her one day.:)
Pure genius, right on the point. The best lesson on economics ever.
Great work Dominic.
Looked it over and over, still laughing, and posted the link everywhere !
Sympathique. Même si peu critique envers les banques.
Superb! And just take a look at the audience – all the great and ungodly of Washington DC
“Take the prudent savers and just give em a squeeze”
That describes Cyprus perfectly.
Debt bomb is simply the work of genius – so plain, so fun, so straight to the point! I believe honest things must be simple and clear. Most complicated things are phony. The Truth bears not elaboration!
