A fairer economy IS possible (to the tune of "Day-O").

lyrics

Bailout, it’s a bailout.
Bailout come, I want to keep my home...
Bailout, give me bailout.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

Work all my life just to buy this house
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Make a little home for me family and spouse.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!
Chorus

I went to the bank got a sub-prime loan
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Ballooning payments make me piss and moan.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

Come Mr. Banker Man, tally up my payment
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Come Mr. Banker Man, tally up my payment.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

6 percent, 8 percent, 9 percent more, Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Variable rate make my payment soar. Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!
Chorus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s 6,000 mortgages bundled in a bunch
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Housing bubble burst, cause credit crunch.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!
Chorus

Capital illiquidity
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Underwater, lost my equity. Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

You have a 2nd house & the judge give U a break Bailout come, I wanna keep…
If you only got one it’s the bank’s to take.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

Foreclosing 6 million, 7 m., 8 m. more
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
You pay your rent, they still kick you out the door. Bailout come, I want to keep …
Chorus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All those banker dudes they sure are sharp
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
They all took cover underneath a TARP.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

Merrill Lynch, Countrywide, all the top bananas
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
Too big to fail, so that’s what Geihtner’s plan is.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!
Chorus

Bank of America too big to fail
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home...
How come nobody’s got to go to jail?
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home!

Bailout, it’s a bail, it’s a bail, it’s a bailout.
Bailout come, I wanna keep my home... 2x
