PLUNDER
.©2009 polar levine--sine language music/BMI

The shine on America's shoes got dulled
When Wall St. stepped into the Fuld
Congress paid off, workers laid off
Stanford, AIG and Madoff
Credit swaps and credit stops
Empty wallets, empty shops
Dead bank walking is triple A
Grampa loses 401k
.
Chorus: Plunder
.............It’s a capital crime
.............Will anybody do the time?
.
Money for nothing. Nothing for money
The housing bubble and the Easter bunny
The free market, Santa Claus
Fairy tales and a nation of laws
Bankruptcies, commodities
Retention bonus, credit freeze
We’re all paying for the bailout
Shakin the pitchfork, calling for a jailout
.
Chorus: Plunder
.............It’s a capital crime
.............Will anybody do the time?
.
Clueless experts, clueless news
Waitin for the sound of dropping shoes
One shoe drops, the other shoe drops
One parachute drop ahead of the cops
Over-levereged, over-paid
Hard cash too easily made
Easy credit for easy crime
For the American dream - death by sub-prime
.
Chorus: Plunder
.............It’s a capital crime
.............Will anybody do the time?
.
Greenspan serving up the Kool Aide
Timebomb ticking on every trade
The mirror flatters; the razor... sharp
On the company jet tootin' up the TARP
Masters of the universe. . . the master's voice
Greed is the creed. . . the drug of choice
Toxic assets. . . the master plan
Greed is the asset of the toxic man
.
Chorus: Plunder
.............It’s a capital crime
.............Will anybody do the time?
