Bumped into this song in a Democracy Now broadcast and found it both amusing and true. Ry Cooder’s “No Banker Left Behind” is (presumably) a clever and sarcastic play on “No Child Left Behind” and tells it like it is.

Cooder is best known, to your host at least, as the guy who wrote those great soundtracks for Wim Wender’s “Paris, Texas”, and Walter Hill’s “Last Man Standing”, but turns out he has a political string to his guitar as well.
