Artist picture
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
The Twelve Days of Bushmas (In C, capo 3) On the 1st day of Bushmas my Supreme Court gave to me A duly selected Presidency On the 2nd day of Bushmas my President gave to me Three hundred dollars, instead of a democracy On the 3rd day of Bushmas my President gave to me No Kyoto protocol So I could warm up To a check for $300, instead of a democracy On the 4th day of Bushmas my President gave to me Space missile defense In order to form A more perfect union or at least a warm fuzzy feeling of Warming up to having no democracy On the 5th day of Bushmas my President gave to me A stop to the START Treaty So we’ll be legal Building Star Wars II To defend our lack of a democracy On the 6th day of Bushmas my President gave to me Stock market tips To replace Social Security On the 7th day of Bushmas my President gave to me Faith-based initiatives To replace Social Security On the 8th day of Bushmas my President gave to me Drills for the Arctic, Water filled with arsenic Oil won’t mix with water But oil and government oughta In a centrifuge Which he’ll set up in a wildlife refuge On the 9th day of Bushmas my President gave to me A – bill – of – rights! Not for gays or blacks or free speech Not for none of these But for health insurance companies On the 10th day of Bushmas my President gave to me Cheaper public schools Cloning corporate tools Teaching to the test, screwing all the rest If they don’t like Our new federal standardization of their kids To work in health insurance companies On the 11th day of Bushmas my President gave to me War against somebody, over in some place To teach a lesson and save our face Taking our 300, and our fuzzy feeling And our bill of rights Here we go to war, I think we All know what it’s for To defend our lack of a democracy On the 12th day of Bushmas My President gave to me Deficit spending so they can pay back Those who really suffered from the attack Oil billionaires It will trickle down he tells us And we must be tough Only terrorists refuse to buy more stuff
