California Scamin

American Scofflaw

all the bonds are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Scamin
on such a winter's day

Goldman Sachs & Co. urged some of its big clients to place investment bets against California bonds this year, despite having collected millions of dollars in fees to help the state sell some of those same bonds.

stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my bankrupt                                                                                             
knees and I pretend to pray

you know the government likes the cold
it knows I can't pay
California Scamin
on such a winter's day

if I didn't sell them
I could leave today
California Scamin
on such a winter's day
