Sung to the tune of ‘I Shot The Sheriff’ with apologies to Bob Marley, who, by the way, kicks ass!

I took the payoff, cuz I have zero integrity.
I took the payoff, cuz I have zero integrity.

All around in my home town
They’re trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me big money
Cuz I have zero integrity,
For my lack of integrity.
But I say:

I took the money, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I like the money, sell my vote just illustrates good sense.

Banker john brown always laughed at me;
For what I dont know.
Every time that I write a check
He said, payoff will make it grow.
He said, steal and watch it grow.
I say:

I took the payoff, cuz I have zero integrity.
I took the payoff, cuz I have zero integrity.

Freedom came my way one day
A vote to deregulate.
All of a sudden I see banker john brown
Trying to flag me down.
So I vote, I vote the regulation down.
I say:

I took the payoff, cuz I have zero integrity.
I took the payoff, cuz I have zero integrity.

Stock market got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day my value goes to the well,
Then one day the bottom did drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom did drop out.
But I say:

I love the money, but I lost it all in AIG.
I had the money, now the repo man is after me.
