€85,000,000,000 is a lot of money. Unfortunately we owe this money to our friends in the EU and the IMF. Another downside to this situation is that we don’t have it. The Difference Engine thought it might be best to highlight this problem to our friends through the medium of music. Please enjoy this song sensibly and if you like it, pass it on

LYRICS
(spoken) Em. Yeah. I need to talk to you for a sec
ABOUT THAT MONEY YOU LENT ME
I MUST BE HONEST
I HAVEN'T HAD A BETTER TIME IN ALL MY PUFF
BUYING STUFF I DIDN'T NEED
APARTMENTS ON THE BALTIC SEA.
WE HAD A BLAST BUT NOTHING LASTS
BLUE SKIES ARE LOOKING OVERCAST
I WON'T BEAT AROUND YOUR FINANCIAL BUSH
I don't have your money. I'm broke. Get over it
I DONT HAVE YOUR MONEY I'M BROKE GET OVER IT
I'M NOT WORTH A PENNY ALIVE OR DEAD
CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?
YOU KNOW I HATE IT WHEN WE FIGHT
IS ALL THIS TENSION NECESSARY?
THERE'S SOME STRONG WORDS SAID
THERE'S SOME TEARS BEEN SHED
BUT SIT BACK AND WATCH THE BOND HOLDERS BURN
AS THEY LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
IS THAT A TEAR IN THEIR EYES
AS THERE ASSETS ARE FRIED?
I DONT HAVE YOUR MONEY I'M BROKE GET OVER IT
I'M NOT WORTH A PENNY ALIVE OR DEAD
CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?
I HAD SOME BAD LUCK AND I'M BROKE GET OVER IT
A STOCK MARKET CHOKE AND I'M BROKE GET OVER IT
COULD YOU LEND ME A MONKEY
TO BUY SOME MORE BUBBLY?
Lets you and me go on a trip all the way to the bottom.
Are we there yet?
I'M BROKE GET OVER IT. I'M BROKE GET OVER IT
i'M NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY
I DON'T HAVE YOUR MONEY
