Paulson's Quid Pro Quo
Once a banker always a banker

We bankers faked out Congress.
    Where did their billions go?
I've changed my mind so many times
    they'll never ever know.
Refinance shaky mortgages?
    That's what they said to do.
As a future mortgage banker,
    I'm the wrong one to ask to.

When I leave here I want those rates
    as high as they can be.
Like Robert Rubin they're my key
    to selectivity
In choosing which bank boards will pay
    the most for quid pro quo.
Quid that I am making sure
    they all know who they owe.
