about
A parody of Bob Dylan's seminal "Who Killed Davey Moore?"
lyrics
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
Not I, says the SEC
Don’t point your finger at me
I could’ve stopped them by ‘08
If given teeth to regulate
But business would’ve booed, I’m sure
At not getting their money’s worth
It’s too bad he had to go
But there was pressure on me too, you know
It wasn’t me that made him fall
No, you can’t blame me at all.
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
Not I, says the hedge fund man
With subprime bonds out of his hand
You only need to time it right
Inside trading shines a light
Black swans can’t be predicted
I ain’t one to be convicted
It wasn’t us that made him fall
No, you can’t blame us at all.
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
Not me, says the sleepy Fed
Quickly rustled from his bed
It’s hard to say, it’s hard to tell
He always looked too big to fail
It’s too bad for investors he burned
But I already caved for Bear Stearns
It wasn’t me that made him fall
No, you can’t blame me at all.
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
Not me, says the working man
With his mortgage file in his hand
It wasn’t me that got him killed
I’m just trying to pay these bills
I didn’t concoct some ugly scheme
Chasing the American dream
It wasn’t me that made him fall
No, you can’t blame me at all.
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
Not I, Kramer rings his bell
Shouts and screams to buy and sell
Saying media ain’t to blame
Only mad money plays my game
Financial shows are here to stay
It’s just the capitalistic way
It wasn’t me that made him fall
No, you can’t blame me at all.
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
Not us, sighed Moody's and Fitch
Harmonized in perfect pitch
Ratings aren’t some holy church
Investors: do your own research
I rated them Triple A it's true
But that's just what I’m paid to do
Don't say murder, don't say kill
It was destiny, it was God's will.
Who killed the Lehman Bro
Buried him ten years ago?
