Pitchforks to D.C.
Amazon arms the nation

Amazon has 5 tine pitchforks –
    only fifteen ninety-nine!
For threatening Obama's team
    of bankers
they'll be fine.

How many million marching
    on D.C.'s it going to take?
How many double agents
    of Tim Geithner
are at stake?

That fifteen ninety-nine is less
    than Citi's going to charge
On ev'ry debit overdraft
    whether small or large.

It's not a loan, but penalty
    they charge you ev'ry time.
What to you's an oversight,
    to them's a major crime.

So overdraft protection?
    Just a big bamboozle!
Don't bother with the fine print –
    immediate refusal!

You think Lucky Luciano
    would be charging that much vig?
He'd own Wall Street, not just Congress,
    with vigorish that big.
