The Legend of a Mind (Timothy Geithner) [Dan Collins]

Timothy Geithner’s crap.
No, no, no, no, he’s gotten a bad rap.
Timothy Geithner’s bland.
No, no, no, no, he’s been dealt a bad hand.
He’ll pay what he owes back,
Had a glitch with Turbotax,
Do the same and you’ll get whacked,
Timothy Geithner, Timothy Geithner.

Timothy Geithner’s dumb.
No, no, no, no, just go ask David Frum.
Timothy Geithner’s cooked.
No, no, no, no, just go read David Brooks.
He’ll bail out AIG,
With his stimulus fantasy,
Tax some back, naturally
Timothy Geithner, Timothy Geithner.

Now listen close, Obama boasts
About a light he says that shines so clear.
Present your ass, we’ll drink a toast
To the little man who makes your retirement queer.

The market’s up, he’ll bring it down,
Drive your 401k into the ground.
He flies so high, they stoop so low,
Nukes the market until it glows.
Timothy Geithner. Timothy Geithner.

He’ll fuck you up, he’ll bring you down,
He’ll plant your savings in the ground.
He’ll fly so high, he’ll stoop so low.
Timothy Geither.

He’ll scrunch up his mobile eyebrows.
Steal your lunch with other highbrows.
Just on whom is the joke now?
Timothy Geithner. Timothy Geither.

    I started writing a version of “Behind Blue Eyes” in response, until I realized that I couldn’t really improve on the original.

    Hated? Fated? Yup.
