"Big Buildup; But Stand Up?"
The Lyrics
High goof’s a Big Muckup (Big Muckup);
budget’s up: Bay Bridge
just might fall right down (fall right down).
and make a big sound.
And then worst of all (worst of all),
the work is stalled—
Bay Bridge; ’cause the bolts are ill (bolts are ill). . .
with big bucks for bills.
Exceeds two (exceeds two) decades since the work started;
the situation is real rank.
So bills go up (bills go up);
Big Muckup’s broken the bank.
Cost overruns don’t end,
they rise again and again.
One more wait because rod’s break and bend.
(snap! snap! snap!)
Each day there is more
bad news: when it rains, it pours
Projects screwed, and will it ever end?
(Pay, pay pay)
Bay Bridge, Bay Bridge in a bind.
(Pay, pay, pay)
Jerkoffs in kind: brain-dead at Caltrans.
Ain’t alone;
contractors must atone;
They’re too blame too.
(Screwed!)
High goof’s a Big Buildup (big buildup),
but stand up, Bay Bridge?
Just might fall right down (fall right down)
outside SF town.
And then worst of all (worst of all),
workers installed
Bay Bridge batch o’ bolts that’s ill (bolts are ill). . .
with big bucks for bills.
Exceeds two (exceeds two) decades since the work started—
since the beginning, this job stank.
So bills go up (bills go up);
Big Muckup’s broken the bank.
A dearth of joy; everyone involved toys with this chore—
the job on and on goes (on-on-on).
’cause what did they do? Used bolts off which the nuts blew.
Many more could still be set to blow.
(Pay, pay pay)
Bay Bridge, Bay Bridge in a bind.
(Pay, pay, pay)
Things are not fine, and no one's happy.
Budgets/nuts off blown,
the publics getting boned—
no end date due.
(Screwed!)
High goof’s a Big Fuckup (Big Fuckup)
bunch o’ junk: Bay Bridge.
Just might rip right down (strip right down).
when next comes around
quake of earth that mauls (earth that mauls),
the thing might fall—
Bay Bridge—drop down and then fill (and then fill). . .
the Bay. . .what a spill!
Exceeds two (exceeds two) decades since the work started—
this project has broken the bank.
Still bills go up (bills go up);
Big Fuckup might drop, get dank.
