New Obama Anthem

New Obama Anthem

Writes Morgan Reynolds: “We no longer hear the Wall Street cliché “Don’t fight the Fed,” which suggests a new song to me for the Obama-Biden administration to warble next year to the music of “I Fought the Law” by the Bobby Fuller Four. Note that “Robbin’ people with a … SIX gun” is the original line–no change needed.”

WE FOUGHT THE MARKET
The Barack Obama Four
(Barack, Bair, Bennie, and Timmy G.)

(A’) Breakin’ bucks in the … hot sun
We Fought the Market and … it won
We Fought the Market and … it won
We printed money, ’cause we … had none
We Fought the Market and … it won
We Fought the Market and … it won

We spent your money and we feel so bad
We guess the race is run
Well, that’s the worst crash … We’ve ever had
We Fought the Market and … it won
We Fought the Market and … it won

(Instrumental Break)

Robbin’ people with a . . . SIX gun
We Fought the Market and … it won
We Fought the Market and … it won

We miss your money and the … good fun
We Fought the Market and … it won
We Fought the Market and … it won

We spent your money and we feel so bad
We guess the race is run
Hey, that’s the worst crash … We’ve ever had
We Fought the Market and … it won
We Fought the Market and … it won

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
