Capo 2, Play E
Intro: E - A - B7 - E
A B7 E
I was drivin' to work one mornin' in Austin, Texas listenin' to talk radio
A B7
An' I heard this guy say, “The Federal Reserve is a private
E
Bank that prints money outta thin air.”
A B7
Well, I was so amazed to be informed of this,
E A
That I made his website one o' my favorites and
E B7 E
Proceeded to listen to his mind-liberatin' audio-streams most every day.
A B7 E
I made arrangements and liquidated my entire retirement fund.
A B7
Paid the penalties and taxes and proceeded to buy up all the
E
Hard assets, I could find,
A B7 E
Like precious metals, collectors’ items, food & fuel
A E B7 E
An' a bug-out bag filled with all the fixins for ocu pie.
Chorus:
A B7
So if your situation sucks,
E A
You know, we’ve all been victimized.
E B7 E
Come on down and gather ‘round the scene of the crime!
A B7
An' if you’re dog-tired of playin’
E A
The game that robs ya blind,
E B7 E
Come on and try a slice of my ocu pie!
Lead: A - B7 - E - A - E - B7 - E
A B7
Well, the guy on the radio said that all, I had to do,
E
Was send sixteen dollars to his P.O. Box
A B7 E
An' I would get unlimited access to all his past radio shows for 1 full year.
A B7 E
So I did. An' I got unlimited access an' a priceless education
A E B7 E
An' a recipe for, well, you know, what kinda pie I’m talking about.
Chorus
End with:
E B7 E - A
Come on and try a slice of my ocu pie!
E B7 E - A
Come on, let me show ya, how to make that ocu pie!
E B7 A - E
You know that central bankers taste mighty fine in ocu pie.
