Hot dog roasting o’er a garbage can
Shopping Goodwill for your clothes
Repo man pulls away with your car
On your home, they’re ready to foreclose

But everybody knows
That AIG and Citigroup
Will keep bankruptcy at bay
CEO’s, with their corporate jets
Do anything but cut their pay

Yes Bush and Paulson had their way
The golden parachutes and bonuses will stay
Now all the taxpayers will bitch and fret
“It looks like all they do is run up the national debt”

So now we’re living in a welfare state
At least for those too big to fail
Little folks try to steal like they do
But they wind up in jail

Yes Bush and Paulson had their way
The golden parachutes and bonuses will stay
So what’s another lousy trillion bucks
As usual, the taxpayer’s shit out of luck

And so I’m offering this simple truth
Doesn’t matter what you do
Although it’s been spun as a rescue or loan
It’s a bailout, merry bailout
It’s a bailout, so screw you
