The Goldman Sachs Kleptocracy Shylocks still pulling strings for more pounds of flesh Were regulators told the facts By Goldman's Kleptomaniacs? Could mark-to-market not infer How under-leveraged they were? By claiming what the market was They've fooled themselves and conned the fuzz. But will shareholders sense betrayal Before these Shylocks go to jail And Blankfein leaves town on a rail? Can regulators be so dumb They'd let Lloyd badger his alum To be the first shark who returns His TARP to triple what he "earns" Instead of lending money out Which is what TARP's all about? How much can Blankfein spend in jail, Helped by Geithner's rummage sale, Before they leave town on a rail? Have regulators been surprised How much some Shylocks are despised? Like Blankfein's moles in government Who let their Shylock circumvent Regulations they've designed To be ignored when so inclined; Tim's strategem, Lloyd's Holy Grail As long as he is free on bail Who'd want to see the bastard fail?
