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.

Lyrics
I was standing at the Capitol With my friends all gathered ‘round Though they steal our health and welfare We won’t let them get us down CHORUS: Will society be unbroken By and by, oh, by and by There’s a better time a-waiting When these gangsters we defy Chorus There’s a law says that our money Must return to fill our needs There’s a waiver says never mind that Priority is rich folks’ greed Chorus Well I bought me an old Chevy Paid a tax, 300 bucks Same exact tax on a Lear Jet Guess the poor are sitting ducks Chorus Then the Fed says, take this billion And expand your Medicaid But the guv’nor that vaudevillian Says our state you may not invade Chorus
