Lawyers, Guns and Money

As a Warren Zevon fan, I could not resist putting up a link to at least one of his songs:
Lawyers, Guns, and Money

After the turbulence in the financial markets last week, the lyrics seem appropriate.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock
and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck

I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The sh*t has hit the fan


Just update the lyrics slightly and you have the current financial crisis:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hey were gambling on Wall Street
They took a little risk
Send the taxpayers money
Ben, get them out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock
and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck

They're hiding in DC
They are desperate men
Send the taxpayers money
The sh*t has hit the fan
The oil barrel is half-full.
