Anglo Bank Hoist

If the Anglo Irish bankers were as free with their money as they were with their mouth, we'd be millionaires.

Bank Hoist 

It’s a bit of a farce

When out from their arse

Bankers dribble a figure

That keeps getting bigger

As more noughts are added

And balance sheets padded

Organised to a T

How to fool you and me.

It’s a bit of a farce

When there’s no time to parse

The needs of a nation

Against lax regulation.

To hear bankers chuckle

And use Cupla Focal.

‘Cause it’s all just a game.

Ah, sure, no one’s to blame.

It’s a bit of a farce

When the moolah is sparse

That Anglo wants skin

On the Government’s chin.

And isn’t it callous

To sing Uber Alles

When Germany’s coffers

Will bail out those scoffers?

It’s a bit of a farce

When we’re kicked in the arse

By bankers who’s onus

Is keeping their bonus.

But those scoffing phonies

And political cronies

Have caused consternation

AND BROKEN THE DREAMS OF A NATION.
