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
Come gather round people wherever you advertise And admit that the sixties sells Chryslers and fries And accept it that money don't talk, it just lies If your bottom line is worth savin Then you better start skimmin all the anthems we've known For the stocks, they are exchangin There's somethin happenin here What it is, is an ad for a beer I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way My beer, talkin bout my beer Songs that sell soap and sell cars and sell lifestyles Anthems of freedom now corporate sieg heils Songs that bring back all those sweet memories Thanks, Mitsubishi, and who needs trees? When I'm downsized, lost my health care When I'm feelin sad I simply remember my favorite songs And then I don't feel so Bad about ads and my culture they're taking Bad about products that didn't need making Bad that they're buying the soul of my youth To sell me their sh** , well it's slightly uncouth When I'm lonesome, or nostalgic Feel I'm gonna cry I simply remember my favorite songs And then I break down and buy! I'm goin up the country, where a man can be free I'm goin up the country, where a man can be free
