Lyrics
He's just a corporate criminal, now,
Wants to get his unsecured loan from the S & L.
He's just a punk in a monkey suit
With a bunch of junk bonds to sell.
He wears his three piece suit,
White collar shirt to work every morning.
Riding in his limo watching CNN
Pump up the latest warning.
He travels by lear jet, stays in five-star hotels
Because it's all a write-off.
But in this new millennium,
This playboy's got more than he can bite off.
If he can't pay his debts, he'll file chapter eleven.
So his worries, they are minimal.
Meanwhile, blue-collar Americans
Bleed for the corporate criminal.
There's thousands of those corporate criminals,now
Being subsidized by you and me.
Because we pay our dues to the man, Uncle Sam,
And this guy, he rides ax free.
You got, Bert Bernanke and Barney Frankie,
Bernie Madoff and AIG.
Then there's Citicorp, Citigroup, and Citibank,
Tim Geithner and the Big Three,
Allen Greenspan, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi.
We've all been robbed.
He's just a corporate criminal, now.
He,s got Freddie and Fannie failing now.
He's just a punk in a monkey suit
Looking for us to bail him out.
