"The Markets They Are A-Changin'"
(To Bob Dylan's Times They Are a Changin)
Come gather round 'bankers'
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be told to go home
If your job to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like the DOW
For the markets they are a-changin'.

Come hedgefunds and bear traders
Who prophesize and sell short
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the markets still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the markets they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's financial meltdown outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the markets they are a-changin'.

Come Central Bankers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Those OTC derivative books
Are beyond your command
The old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out Bernanke and Paulsen
If you must bail out your friends
For the markets they are a-changin'.
