So you say you want a revolution...

Tim Geithner unhitched WallStreet from the train
as if the DowJones were the crucial part
but left Americans who work on Main
Street pulling the entire revenue cart
promoting regulators from their ranks
assured big donors that we'll wash their backs
there'll be no prosecution of the banks
and "carried int'rest" still skates free on tax
Piketty sketched how bad it's apt to get
when Labor's crushed beneath big Lenders' heel
as more Americans slip into debt 
we're growing wistful for a new NewDeal
yet Hillary runs on the status quo
one wonders how much lower we can go
