Wall Street to Main Street: Who Needs You?

National Attention Given To “Friends On Wall St. A New Release Now Playing Coast To Coast

After watching The House Committee question Richard S. Fuld, CEO of Lehman Brothers on C-SPAN last week, country music artist Billy Craig wrote a timely classic called FRIENDS ON WALL ST.

“I wrote the lyrics, emailed them over to some friends and got a huge response” said Billy. In turn, his national promotions Manager, Brad Johnson of All Things Media, forwarded the lyrics and received the same response. “It was suggested to me by many in the music industry, and I agreed, that Billy needed to record this song right away” says Brad.

As of today, the media’s incredible response has made the song a coast to coast sensation. Made available to the readers of New York’s Daily Newscaster which quotes, “Billy Craig’s new song is a voice from the American Heartland and a message for Wall Street from Main Street.” (D. H. Williams – Daily Newscaster)

The song will be featured on San Francisco’s KALW 91.7 FM and has already been getting spins on many stations across the USA including WCTH –Thunder Country 100.3 FM Miami-Dade and The Florida Keys and KXKX radio in Missouri.

Friends On Wall St.

Sell my house and sell my boat
Before I’m really going broke
Ya know those genius mortgage dealers
Are drivin my damn four wheeler

Sold me some fancy finance package
Now their stuck in some kind of wreckage
With their hands stuck in my face
They got the bailout what a waste

It’s always the same ole story
But I don’t need to worry

Cause I got friends on Wall St.
They all smarter than us
Keep sending you’re hard earned dollars
And don’t put up a fuss
Cause I got friends on Wall St.
They take care of me
Live long and prosper
In the land of the free

Last stop is called Hooverville
I ain’t forgot I remember still
Packin up and goin west
Pickin peaches I think that’s best

My Bowl is full a dust
But investing dollars is a must
Look to the future seeking growth
I watched Fuld take his oath

And it’s always the same ole story
But I don’t need to worry

Chorus Chorus Chorus
