inspired by the multiple examples of corporate greed over the last few years, while many languish in the recession.

lyrics

Shakers & Movers words/music: bill mallonee

Well, the phone, it ain't rung at all today
and those darker things have had far too much to drink and say
There's a phrase the shakers and movers like to throw around
Yer either on the way up...or on the way down

There are knives you must twist; There are morals to kiss...goodbye
There are stories you must spin; There is snake skin to hide.
There's a phrase the shakers and movers...like to throw around
Yer either on the way up...or on the way down

All these whispers behind closed doors; All this ink upon the page
All these principles to compromise; All these promises to break
There's a phrase the shakers and movers...like to throw around
Yer either on the way up...or on the way down

Onnce my conscience was my sweetheart...Hell, it was all over town
I'da married her in a heartbeat...if she'd just put the weapon down

But there are ladders to climb; There are soft hearts to resist
There are souls to be traded; There are asses to kiss
There's a phrase the shakers and movers...like to throw around
Yer either on the way up...or on the way down
