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
Chorus: I won’t be making the trip To visit Don Blankenship In his prison cell And I don’t wish him well Won’t visit Tony Hayward He’s way too wayward Though seeing him in jail Is my holy grail No it isn’t fine to operate a mine When coal is the cancer of the earth But to sacrifice 29 To increase your bottom line Brother you’re asking for it Into the patrol car, officer, floor it! Chorus And the only proper plea For drilling in the sea With no referee Is insanity But on second thought I guess We really ought to press Charges Including reckless endangerment, In the presence of clear and present danger He went straight to manslaughter, Sea slaughter, shore slaughter Killing of the land and air and water So…. Chorus
