Bankers Bonanza

Twas the night before the bailout and all through the house

Not a banker was stirring they were sleeping so well

The stocks were thrown around by wall street with care

In hopes that opportunity soon would be there

The ceo's were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of foreign women stripping danced in their heads

Now mom cries in a handkerchief what pops built collapsed

And there's no home to settle in from a long winter's wrath

When it all came crashing there arose such a clatter

Politicians pointed fingers to who caused this matter

Away with your bank roll it flew away with a flash

Tore open the nation's stomach and threw up on the flag

There needs to be more breast on the new fall show

Offer distraction to these mindless creatures below

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But a national debt pulled by 11 trillion reindeer

With little old drivers so greedy and sick

And the banks started acting like they were st. Nick

More rapid than eagles the interest it came

And a lot of people couldn't afford to play in this game

Now cassano, now paulson, now w, and clinton

On greenspan, on madolf, on consumers and big business

To the top of the world to the top of the wall

Throw your cash away cash away cash away all

Its off we go, to double your dough,

To get your golden ticket, we can get you filthy rich

And you deserve, whatever you dream!

We can turn that want into a need indeed

You give, we take, you buy the pie, we eat the cake

We get the spoils, you lick the plate!...and these are the banks!

(Banks banks banks.)

Banks don't back money, government does

So when banks go down, they rush on government buzz.

Well connected criminals loot big bank

See me down at goldman sachs trying to shoot big hank

Paulson, the treasury in washington

Printing out money nobody knows the costs and

Condoleeza rice opportunity in crisis

Chevron oil tanker namesake piracy

Mired in a quagmire gigitty gigitty. Ha!

You cannot keep feeding it thinking of making it stop!

Look across the landscape and all you see is

Money for nothing and your checks for free

Cuz can't cook goose til the foie gras fattens

When jp morgan swallows chase manhattan

Then eats bear stearns like the old robber barons

What nobody knows has nobody caring

The govs got the big banks back (and so it goes.)

But where is all the help for the regular joes?

Why you who the onus is on are getting bonuses,

Your hampton hedges fully fund homelessness

Where's help with houses and the reworking of loans

Wheres the sense in letting people lose they homes

In times of crisis there are kings and kings fall (cell door cls)

Let em rot in prison with their crimson windfall
