Peninsula | Global Justice and Anti-CapitalismNo Bailout for Wall Street Bums
While downtown Palo Alto strollers headed out after work to eat sushi, the Grannies "popped some corn" with BBQ Bob of the Ribtones. Members of the Raging Grannies Action League sang this ditty they wrote to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" while waving pails marked
NO BAILOUT and signs saying NO BLANK CHECK FOR WALL STREET SONG for No Bailout Demo TUNE: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean My money lies over the ocean I can’t trust investments at home Now Congress is writing a blank check Should have LEFT regu-LA-tions alone! Chorus: Bailout, Bailout No stinking bailout for Wall Street bums! Bail out, Bailout No stinking bailout for them! They blather about the “free” market They say that we must privatize They’re happy to rake in the profits Their ethics should be scrutinized! Chorus Granny Mary has fake money in her *BailOut* Pail.
BBQ Bob is a veteran of the streets. He joined our rally and created a blues song for the Grannies to join in on.
"What about my medicare? Bailin' out Wall Street just ain't fair..." On the streets, using our voice
"Junk Bonds--Junk President"! LET IT CRASH
tune: Let It Snow lyrics: Granny Maddy, Boston RGs, 9/25/08 Oh the Wall Street news is frightful And the people’s rath is rightful We say “Do not kiss their ash Let it crash, let it crash, let it crash”. It doesn’t show signs of stopping We won’t swallow “corn” for propping The fight has turned way up fast Let it crash, let it crash, let it crash. When we finally bottom out How we’ll hate what we know has been done But if we don’t resist this NOW Their fascism plot will have won Democracy’s slowly dying And the fat is up for frying But for 700 billion in cash Let it crash, let it crash, let it crash. Bernard and Sharon of Chapter 101, Veterans for Peace
