I like this song and video for a variety of reasons but there are two stand out moments for me-
1) I ike it when Paul Hipp starts to take his clothes off, and not for the reason you’d think. He’s losing his shirt- GET IT?
2) This song was released last year and it is about B of A and the bailouts- but with that chucklehead Senator Bunning who told people who paid into their unemployment benefits to go and F^%$ themselves and they weren’t going to get another dime on his watch- this song has proven its captured the Spirit ( or lack of soul ) the ” Upper Classes” who will never ever taste the fear that they are ramming down the throat of every single
American
for no other reasons that they are taking care of their own.
Somebody needs to tell our story.
I love you Paul Hipp.

Here is a song to keep us all dancing through the depression!
FREE MONEY IN THE USA
I cant pay my bills, my cards are maxxed
but the same old greedy banker hacks
are taking million dollar bonuses from my tax
Busting laws and breaking backs
AIGee your dumb said the man in the suit
With his bonuses and his sack of loot
The same guys who caused the train to crash
Are the only people still making cash
AIG I’m dumb FDIC my thumb
Shoved up my BofA
Free money in the USA
I got no place to stay
I lost my 401k
Now it’s all gone away
Free money in the USA
Binding legal obligations
In a broke and worthless paper nation
one six five million in bonus pay
Free money in the USA
The first banker to press that case
may win in court but will one day face
an angry mob that he will meet
coming through the gates of easy street
Cancel all bonus’s or put them in jail
We’re all to goddamn big to fail
With so many people out of work
I hear some wealthy banker jerk
Say they can’t attract the brightest and best
Like the ones who got us into this mess
Without hundreds of millions in retention pay
Free money in the USA
Go down to the unemployment line
There’s a lot of people who’d do just fine
To right this ship and fix your bank
For a decent wage and a hearty thanks
for some honest pay for an honest day
Fuck aig fuck BofA-holes

Irregular Bones 
yay, great song – tis exactly the same here of course – the b bankers are still in power and raking it in whilst the working classes get clobbered in the most painful of ways, not a lot changes eh – all those years pounding the streets on marches, demos to support the workers back in the 70’s, 80’s and even the 90’s and here we are – in our so-called classless societies (HA!) with even worse divisions than ever, kicking those who are down and rubbing our noses in it.
I figure that’s their way of reminding you who is really in charge.
And the only way we can answer back is this way- whatever it takes.
