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
You tell me it's not a thing about race Except maybe down in Dixie You tell me things have changed a lot And I'm just stuck in the sixties You tell me the poor are movin Into the middle class Are you tellin me they're free at last? I must have been confused when I walked the inner city Bombed out buildings must have been a set for a movie When I saw the all-black schools I must admit they had me fooled I could have sworn there was inequality Can't walk here, it's too black Can't walk there, way too white Can't go uptown, so they say Not alone, or at night, no way I just want to walk all over this world And I will, when we're all free at last You merge and downsize companies You send our jobs across the seas You cut the safety net and then You dump your waste on us and when You've got a couple minutes You build some jails and cut the schools And then you tell us we're free at last
