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
This brand’s not my brand This brand’s not your brand From Delano grape fields To Montgomery buses From Nestle’s formula to fossil fuel stocks This brand’s not made for you and me I’ve roamed and rambled And followed the footsteps Of corporate criminals, Government accessories And all around me a voice was sounding This brand’s not made for you and me As I went walking I saw South Africa An apartheid system With Polaroid passbooks I didn’t play Sun City, I’m not that shitty That boycott was made for you and me To keep us buying Sometimes they’re lying Maybe domination Is their occupation Do they do aggression, even dispossession That brand’s not made for you and me If you’re ever wonderin’ Is the seller plunderin’ Let your conscience wake up Give the thing a smell test Is it bad for the planet or indigenous people That brand’s not made for you and me This brand’s not my brand This brand’s not your brand It oppresses workers It oppresses women So don’t buy bombers Tear gas or land grabs This brand’s not made for you and me This brand’s not my brand This brand’s not your brand If it steals the wages If it steals the farmland If it takes the power For one tenth of one percent This brand’s not made for you and me
