For Sandy Weill
From His Former Best Bud Robert Rubin
In a stunning reversal, a former big bank CEO who crusaded for policies that helped create the so-called "too-big-to-fail" banks now says we need to break up the banks.
Don't take your love of big banks away, Sandy
Don't you leave all those vaults empty
If you do then the one percent will be blue
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember in '99 when you held me tight
And we got rid of Glass-Steagall overnight
Think of all that we've been through,
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up let's start buying up again
I beg you, Sandy, don't say it was all for naught
Can't we give Too-Big-to-Fail a bit more thought
Come on baby, let's start anew
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
