The Lyrics
(instrumental intro)
Oh, the giant firm named Enron seemed to crash out of the blue.
It was under leadership of a buddy of W.
Ken Lay pulled off theft so grand; was the worst in all this land.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
(Chorus:)
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
Ken Lay survives; Enron's crash has ruined lives.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Offshore bank accounts on islands; secret partnerships galore.
Enron's leadership then screwed all their workers and made them poor.
Fat cats took their cash to go, while the workers lost their dough.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
Ken Lay survives; Enron's crash has ruined lives.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Enron's carcass now does stink, 'cause their stock bubble had burst.
Ken Lay's ties to Bush found out; it's what Dubya fears the worst.
On TV, Lay's wife then cried, "Ken and I are poor" - they lied.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
Ken Lay survives; Enron's crash has ruined lives.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Folks in Congress now all shout: "What led to this bankruptcy?!"
Corruption now on display threatens Dubya's monarchy.
The Bush White House vainly tried pushing this scandal aside.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
Ken Lay survives; Enron's crash has ruined lives.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
After hearing Enron's story, people soon begin to see
Just how scandalous and large was this company's bankruptcy.
Ken Lay pulled off theft so grand; was the worst in all this land.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
Ken Lay survives; Enron's crash has ruined lives.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
Ken Lay survives; Enron's crash has ruined lives.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
Oh, the giant firm named Enron seemed to crash out of the blue.
It was under leadership of a buddy of W.
Ken Lay pulled off theft so grand; was the worst in all this land.
It was bad men who have now brought Enron down.
(Chorus:)
Oh, they were bad... oh, they were bad.
It was bad men who have brought Enron down.
