When Phil Gramm's Culpability Came Out

Gramm Sham

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Deregulation, their loop-hole elation,
Home-owning security—the new emasculation.

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Predatory lending, nepotistic mending,
Way to go! Way to go! Narcissistic spending.

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Backroom corruption, Grandma's disruption,
Laughing, yucking, having fun with usury distruction.

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Families feel the squeeze, trapped by legalese,
played by highbrow scum, a haughty sort of sleaze.

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Then they say "My friend" trying hard to send
A message we should trust their parasitic trend.

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Economic advisor? The Enron/housing divisor?
The deeds they do will provide the glue to pull us together much wiser.

Nasty men doing nasty things.

Their tree provides their fruit, filling an unctuous empty suit
With empathy none from what they have done, stealing Americans' loot.
