The folks at Occupy Student Debt put out a call for supportive songs, but they had to be parodies of something from Mary Poppins. So be it.
folk political satire
Artist picture
Songs to afflict those who make everyone else uncomfortable.
Dave Lippman travels the world taking the air out of the windbags of the week, de-distorting history, and rewriting the classics with parody and thrust. He also presents the world's only known singing CEO, the Bard of the Bankers, Wild Bill Bailout, who employs anti-folk songs and interventionary anthems to explain (and enforce) that the business of America is none of your business, that those too big to fail are also too big for jail, and that the jobless and foreclosed must bail out their own boats.

Story behind the song
First they get you on a lifetime hook for a so-called education, then they disappear the jobs you went to school to get. The fix is in.
Lyrics
Chorus: Student debt is rising high & making us ferocious You must admit the sound of it is really quite atrocious If we don’t do something we’ll all end up on Skid Row-cious Student debt is rising high & making us ferocious Because we were afraid to speak about our rising debt The bankers gave our loans a tweak that we won’t soon forget But then one day they went too high and that’s when we awoke They’re mortgaging our future, we’re not laughing it’s no joke They travel all around the world and everywhere they go They make their super-profit out of reg’lar folks you know When Dukes and Maharajas pass the time of day with them We answer, This is over, your grand theft we do condemn So when the cat has got your tongue there’s no need for dismay Just summon up a movement, then you’ve got a lot to say This escalating ripoff we are going to prevent They better listen to us, we’re the 99 percent! Chorus
