From the recording Get On Board

Lyrics

If someone stood up at a shareholder meeting
And raised his voice up yelling and pleading,
And waived his proxy and shook his leg, you’d notice him If an analyst on a company’s case yelled
The expenses have a lot of waste
This whole company’s a powder keg, you’d notice him
And even without cluckin’ like a hen Everyone gets noticed now and then Unless of course that shareholder should be Invisible, inconsequential me
Institutional, institutional investor
Shoulda been my name
Institutional investor
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there
I tell ya
Institutional, institutional investor
Shoulda been my name
Institutional investor
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me, and never know I'm there
Suppose you was on a company’s board
Been rakin’ in more and more
Shareholder files a class action, you’d notice him Suppose you was a regulator
SEC, Justice, or even Spitzer
Tried to jail one man for 200 years, you’d notice him
A shareholder is made of more than air
With all that money you’re bound to see ‘em there Unless that shareholder next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinguished
You, know, who
Shoulda been my name
Institutional investor
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me, and never know I'm there
I tell ya
Institutional, institutional investor
Shoulda been my name
Institutional investor
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me and never know I'm there
Never Even Know I'm there
