No one ever said it was the right thing to do

Alameda calls for sun

Heard it all through the grapevine

Go on, toss in a spare

You've set off a landmine

We've only brought to pass

But it's already been the end

Oh, when it's bad, it's really bad

And when it's good it's grand

Bad words from sly mouths

All toss 'round with the wind

But that's not who you are

Only who you've  been

The broker`s gone long poor

Have you read the front page news?

We`ve all been repossessed

And there`s nothing left to do

We've only brought to pass

But it's already been the end

Oh, when it's bad it's really bad

And when it's good it's grand

It's just grand, it's just grand
