about

When villains become celebrities we know we are all in for a wild ride

lyrics

White collar crime it's the bane of our existence
Slap your hands but you show persistence
You come around, and do it again
The Bernie Madoffs and the Michael Milkens

You might say it's all in a day's work
What the hey baby- nobody gets hurt
You might feel different if you'd lost your best shirt
And the only thing keeping you off the street
Was that old familiar melody that you can't repeat
The song of a poor man, living in a rich land
Look at all the lucky people now
Look at me bleed

In the fabulous land of the wannabees
There's a bunch of people sitting 'round like you and me
Trying so hard, vying for security
But they've broken all the rules-adhered to the veritable credo
Of the Harvard Business school-handed us a crippling knee blow
The presidential captain of the fools- was a veritable hero
Said "The effect was minimal"
I say it was criminal
Cool
