Bad Moon Rising

[The Prof]

I see a bad moon a-risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see corporate downsizin'
I see folks without no pay
Don't go out tonite
Cuz your VISA's outta sight
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear mothers all a-moanin'
They know the bills are comin' soon
I hear bankers aren't a-loanin'
Won-der-ing how to get thru June
Debts high as a kite
Leave consumers fraught with fright
There's a bad moon on the rise

I feel dangerous emotion
People are not prepared to die
I fear tar and blackened ocean
Pray for redemption, by and by
What wherefores and whys
Even children can surmise
There's a bad moon on the rise

Worry, malaise, regret and sorrow
Grieve, sob, bemoan, bewail and cry
I see hurricanes tomorrow
Osprey and pelicans don't fly
Don't unlock your door
Cuz Korea's off to war
Don't go spend your cash
Cuz the Euro's 'bout to crash
Comes as no surprise
To the worldly and the wise
There's a bad moon on the rise
