"Madoff with the Money" - New Song

MADOFF WITH THE MONEY


BERNIE MADOFF BILKED THE BIG BUCKS FROM THE WEALTHY AND THE STRONG
AND IF YOU WENT WITH BERNIE WELL I HOPE YOU DIDN’T “GO LONG”
HOPE YOU GOT IT WHILE YOU COULD CAUSE BY NOW IT’S LIKELY GONE
AND IT ISN’T MUCH CONSOLATION THAT HE KNOWS THAT HE WAS WRONG

I USED TO THINK THOSE ENRON BOYS WERE THE BELL RINGERS OF GREED
BUT BERNIE’S PUT THEM ALL TO SHAME HE’S THE GREEDIEST INDEED
AND AS WE BAILOUT ALL THE SCUMBAGS WHO GAVE MONEY OUT FOR FREE
I JUST HOPE THE FEDS DON’T COME GUNNING FOR LITTLE SCMUCKS LIKE ME


CHO:

BERNIE MADOFF WITH YOUR MONEY, THAT DIRTY ROTTEN LOUSE
MADOFF WITH YOUR MONEY NOW YOU’RE GONNA LOSE YOUR HOUSE
YES HE MADOFF WITH THE MONEY, FIFTY BILLION DISAPPEARED
MADOFF WITH YOUR MONEY WITH HIS PONZI SMOKE AND MIRRORS


IT’S CLEAR THAT BUSH HAS BUNGLED THINGS I THINK THAT’S SAFE TO SAY
BUT WHO AMONG US REALLY FEELS OBAMA CAN SAVE THE DAY?
AND HOW ABOUT THOSE REGULATORS AND THE JOKERS AT THE SEC?
NOW WE KNOW THE PARTY’S OVER AND THAT NOTHING COMES FOR FREE

CHO:

WALL STREET PLAYS BY DIFFERENT RULES, BUT THE HORSE HAS LEFT THE GATE
IF YOU THINK IT’S TIME TO REINVEST, I THINK YOU’RE A LITTLE LATE
MOST PEOPLE WORK HARD FOR THEIR MONEY AND FOR THEM THIS IS ALL INSANE
THAT THE BAD GUYS GO UNPUNISHED WHILE THE REST OF US FEEL PAIN


BANKERS, BROKERS, CONGRESSMEN, THE AUTO INDUSTRY
ALMOST EVERYONE HAS LET US DOWN, I THINK IT’S CLEAR TO SEE
AND IF YOU TRUSTED GUYS LIKE BERNIE YOU PROBABLY LOST YOUR ASS
YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR MONEY IN A MATTRESS, THEN IT WON’T DISAPPEAR SO FAST

BERNIE MADOFF WITH YOUR MONEY,THAT DIRTY ROTTEN LOUSE
YES HE’S MADOFF WITH THE MONEY BUT HE GETS TO KEEP HIS HOUSE
THOUGH HE WEARS AN ANKLE BRACELET CONFINED BY HOUSE ARREST
PERHAPS SOMETHING A LITTLE LESS COMFORTABLE MIGHT BE MORE APPROPRAITE
