Dm C
the Bible tells us not to steal, it's there in black and white
Dm C Dm
our laws are based upon it too: do not do wrong - do right
Dm C
yet somehow since these laws were writ, we've seen the system fail
Dm C Dm
but things will change for all the best - when the bankers go to jail
chorus:
G Dm
when the bankers go to jail my friends - when the bankers go to jail
G Dm
we'll all be dancing in the street - we'll laugh and sing as well
G Dm
we'll finally see justice done - God damn them all to hell
Bb Dm C Dm
we'll hear the bells of freedom ring - when the bankers go to jail
if things were as they ought to be - when any business fails
investors take a haircut - amid their tears and wails
but in our twisted system that our politicians hail
the working folk pay all the bills - and lose their jobs as well
the banks just keep on growing - the banker's pay as well
no matter what they steal from us they never seem to fail
but one day soon we'll take a stand - we workers will prevail
we'll tar and feather all of them and send them all to jail
