Inspired by SusanG's diary, with shaky rhymes, and profoundest apologies to the original artists:


These Banks Were Made for Failin’
(American public to U.S. Treasury):

You keep saying you’ve got something for me. Something you call cash, but confess. You’ve been messin’ where you shouldn’t have been a messin’. Now Wall Street banks are gettin’ all your best.
These banks were made for failing, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days, these banks are gonna fail all over you.
You keep lyin’, when you oughta be truthin’ and you keep losin’ when you oughta not bet. You keep samin’ when you oughta be changing. Now what’s right is right, but you ain’t been right yet.
These banks were made for failing, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days, these banks are gonna fail all over you.

“I can’t get no (intervention)”
(American people to US government):

… I’m watchin’ my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How the bankers get money for free
But I can’t get a dime cuz I didn’t steal
100 million G’s….

I can’t get no…

S.O.S.
(American public to their banks):

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your blinds
Whatever happened to my loan?
I wish I understood
You used to be so nice; you owned the neighborhood

So when you’re near me, banker can’t you hear me
S.O.S.
The funds you gave me, nothing else can save me
S.O.S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?

SNIP

Blowin’ in the Wind
(American public to Timothy Geithner)

How many times must a mortgage be sold.
Before you call it a loss?
Yes, 'n' how many CDOs must a bad bank sell?
Before it lands in the trash?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the toxic loans fail?
Before they’re forever banned?
Your ass, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
Your ass is blowin' in the wind.
