Bankster's Bailouts Blues

Wall Streets in the red today,

I've heard on the phones,

Down again's reported,

Should've never made the loans,

I knew the Fed was loaded,

But, I didn't think He'd steal,

Then everything exploded,

when Glass Steagall got repealed,

So Bernanke's got your fix it,

It's the Citi banks demands,

Goldman needs the money now,

So do it as we planned,

You'll be cool in front of Congress.

And we'll pay a million grand.

I'm sorry it went down like this,

The people had to lose.

It's the nature of the business.

It's the Bankster's Blues,

Bankster's Blues.

The brokers and the agents,

The traders and the law.

The pay off and insurance.

And the loans nobody saw.

Don't matter if it's been stolen as long as it's in cash.

You gotta bribe the Congress.

Cause you know they need the stash.

There's lots shady characters.

Lots of dirty deals

Name's are just an alias.

When everybody steals.

It's the lure of peoples money,

It's gotta very strong appeal.

Perhaps you'd understand it better,

Stealin in my shoes.

It's the ultimate enticement.

It's the Bankster's Blues.

Bankster's Blues.

See it in the headlines.

You hear it every day.

They say there gonna stop it.

Then Dodd-Frank says it's OK.

They steal it in New York, then ship it far away.

They hide it up in Washington.

I mean it's gone today.

It's propping up the Congress and elections that are through.

You ask any S.E.C man,

He'll say there's nothing we can do.

From the office of the President

Right down to me and you, that's me an you.

It's a losing Constitution.

But it's one they can't refuse.

It's the politics of Treasury.

It's the Banksters Blues.

Bankster's Blues.
