John Dillinger

John Dillinger was a bad, bad man
He robbed banks
He had a gang
Not the kind we know today
Who buy our presidents
But a crime wave for the airways
In everybody's face

John Dillinger, John Dillinger, John Dillinger
John Dillinger, John Dillinger, John Dillinger

A magnet for the masses
In movies, news and song
So why'd they brand him
Public enemy number one?

To keep people's minds
Off the Great Depression
And who should really hang
For causing the whole thing

Give the public Johnny
Bonnie, Babyface, and Clyde
So just like now
Wall Street gets a free ride

John Dillinger, John Dillinger, John Dillinger
John Dillinger, John Dillinger, John Dillinger

Johnny, Johnny baby
Pop star or patsy?
Maybe both at the same time
You sure came in handy

As the CEOs leave the theater
Trophy wives in red
It's G-men to the rescue
Open fire and Earth is saved

My friend Hugh DeNeal
From the Woodbox Gang
Got three and a half in Leavenworth
For small time Ponzi schemes

He should have known better
And he'd be a free man
If he'd been working Wall Street
For bonuses instead

Throw the book at small time crooks
While Goldman Sachs walks
And the Bernies made off
With the stimulus and more

John Dillinger, John Dillinger, John Dillinger
John Dillinger, John Dillinger, John Dillinger
