No Banker Left Behind

Allra första låten på Ry Ciiders CD ”Pull Up Some Dust And Sit Down” (Nonesuch 527407-2, 2011, distribution Warner) handlar om bankkrisens USA:

No Banker Left Behind

Amerikansk text och musik: Ry Cooder, 2011

C
My telephone rang one evening, my buddy called for me
F C G
Said the bankers are all leavin’, you better come round and see
C
It started revelation, they robbed the nation blind,
F C F C G C
They’re all down at the station, no banker left behind.
G
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find.
C F C G C
They were all down at the station, no banker left behind

The bankers called a meeting, to the White House they went one day
They was going to call one the President, in a quiet and a sociable way
The afternoon was sunny and the weather it was fine
They counted all our money and no banker was left behind

No banker, no banker, no banker could I find.
They were all down at the white house, no banker was left behind

Well I hear the whistle blowing, it plays a happy tune
The conductor’s calling all aboard we’ll be leavin soon
With champagne and shrimp cocktails and that’s not all you’ll find
There’s a billion dollar bonus and no banker left behind

No banker, no banker, no banker could I find.
When the train pulled out next morning, no banker was left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find.
When the train pulled out next morning, no banker was left behind

No banker, no banker, no banker could I find.
They were all down at the station, no banker left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find.
When the train pulled out next mornin’, no banker was left behind.
