We Don't Need Another Bailout Sung to the Tune of "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner

Out of the ruins
And econo- wreckage
Can’t let those banks have their ways
All of us debtors
The slave generation
We are the ones who will pay
Though each time promising they will change
Banks steal more of the cash that remains

CHORUS:
We don’t need another bailout
Another QE2, 3, or 4
It won’t bring us all prosperity
Just gives the banksters even more

Searching for something
We can rely on
Surely there’s something out there
They used to give us all shiny toasters
Now we’ve been burned, it’s not fair…

All their promises made of dog poo
Secretly ripping off me and you..
So what if they never will change
They’ll keep stealing till nothing remains

We don’t need another bailout
A congressman payback, a sweet deal
Cause we know down deep inside us
Bailout’s another word for STEAL

All the children say
We don’t want another bailout
It’s time to let the zombie corps just fail
All we want is all our savings back
Laissez-faire and the people prevail

So, what have they done to our lives?
The Fed is leaving its mark
Will they hide like thieves in the night
Leave the rest of us here in the dark?
Give us freedom or NOTHING!


We don’t need another bailout
Fractional reserve banking fools
All we want is to be rid of
Worthless fiat and corporate tools..


O TSA O TSA (Sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree)

O TSA, O TSA
You are the worst thing going
O TSA O TSA
You leave us sad and knowing
That when we all just want to leave
Your daily gropes you must achieve
O TSA O TSA, you are the worst thing going

O TSA O TSA you are a waste of money
O TSA  O TSA we do not find it funny
That you give grants to the police
The taxpayers you like to fleece
O TSA O TSA, you are a waste of money

O TSA O TSA, your workers aren’t the brightest
O TSA O TSA, nor protocols the tightest
You take away a tube of paste
But miss a knife in your great haste
O TSA O TSA, your workers aren’t the brightest

O TSA O TSA, you know you can’t protect us
O TSA O TSA, you only serve to vex us
All that you do just wastes our time
It will not stop the masterminds
O TSA O TSA you know you can’t protect us


The Politician

 The Politician- Sung to the Tune of the Gambler as sung by Kenny Rogers

On a warm summer’s evening
In a country bound for nowhere
I met a politician, we were both too wired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin out the window,both despairin’
Til reality overtook us, and he began to speak

He said, “Son, I’ve made a living out of mostly doing nothin’
Knowing how to cheat and be great at tellin’ lies
So, if you don’t mind me sayin’- you look just like a newbie
For a swig of your champagne, I’ll give you some advice

So I handed him my Perignon and he gulped down my last swallow
Then he bummed a Marlboro and asked me for a light
And we both got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression
Said, “If you wanna play at politics, you better do it right.”

You gotta know what ya told ‘em, the crap that ya sold em
When they ask you for the truth, then it’s time for you to run
You never steal their money if you’re up for re-election
They’ll be time enough for stealin’ when the vote is done…

Every politician knows that the secret to survivin’
Is knowing how to raise those funds at a thousand bucks a plate
Cause voters they are losers and you know they will still choose ya
Even if you rip off them and your mistress says she’s “late.”

And when he finished speaking
He turned to the teleprompter
Squinted up his beady eyes and swallowed up a sigh
And somewhere in the darkness, the politician started sleepin’
And in his final words I found, some truth that I could keep

You gotta know what ya told ‘em, the crap that ya sold em
When they ask you for the truth, then it’s time for you to run
You never steal their money if you’re up for re-election
They’ll be time enough for stealin’ when the vote is done…

All You Need's A Czar- based on the The Beatles All You Need Is Love

June 22, 2010
Czar, Czar, Czar, Czar, Czar,Czar,Czar,Czar, Czar.

There's nothing you can do that can't be undone.
Nothing you can sling that can't be unslung.
Nothing you can say cause I've learned how to play the game
It's easy.

There's no crisis in the world that I can't fix
I'll save it all with my bureaucratic tricks
Nothing you can do but sit back and grow blue
in time - It's easy.

All I need 's a czar, all I need's a czar
All I need's a czar bud
Czars are all I need
All you need's a czar, bud, a czar is all you need,
All you need's a czar,bud,a czar is all you need.

There's nothing you can say that I don't know
Nothing you can hide that I won't show
Nowhere you can be that is not approved by me.
It's easy.

All you need's a czar, all you need's a czar
All you need's a czar, bud, a czar is alll you need.
All you need's a czar (all together now)
All you need's a czar (everybody)
All you need's a czar, bud, a czar is all you need.
