Who killed the Facebook IPO
Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not I," says the SEC porn addict,
"Don't point your finger at me.
I could've delayed the launch date
An' maybe kept small investors from this hapless fate,
But the insider crowd would've booed, we're sure,
At not gettin' their money sooner,
It's too bad it had to go fast,
But there was a pressure on us too, you know.
It wasn't us that made it fail.
No, you can't blame us at all."

Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not us," says the insider shareholder crowd,
Whose shill screams filled the markets aloud.
"It's too bad it died that way"
But we just like to see our money quadruple .
We didn't mean for it t' meet this trouble,
We just meant to maximize our bets,
There ain't nothing wrong in that.
It wasn't us that made it fail.
"No, you can't blame us at all."

Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not me," says the lead IPO manager,
Puffing on a big Wall Street cigar.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to tell,
I always thought that it would sell real swell.
It's too bad for those geeks the fantasy's dead,
But if it was sick, they should've said.
It wasn't me that made it fall.
"No, you can't blame me at all."

"Not me" says the NASDAQ schmo,
It was a software glitch how could we know,
Anyhow that's how the robot trading game goes,
Easy come, easy skim, easy goes,
It wasn't me that made it fail,
"No, don't try to blame me at all"
Who killed The Facebook IPO,
Why an' what's the reason for
"Not me," says the denuded deluded IPO sucker,
With his confirmation ticket still in his hands.
"It wasn't me that knocked it down,
I just wanted a big POP and quick flip,.
I didn't commit no ugly sin,
Anyway, I put money on it to win.
It wasn't me that made it drop.
"No, you can't blame me at all."
Who killed The Facebook IPO,
Why an' what's the reason for?
Not me says the hooded CEO,
I wanted no part of that pinstriped freak show,
I told them being public wasn't important to me,
After all shareholders are just sheep to be reamed,
So I can be king of the Web 2.0 geeks,
The social graph didn't make it fail,
"And no, don't try and blame me at all."
Who killed The Facebook IPO,
Why an' what's the reason for?
Not me says the glum CFO,
After all I just did what I was told,
Maximize profits for short term greed,
Forget about planning, or sharing some beans,
It's all about exits and fat Ponzi schemes.
After all that's the Silicon Valley pipe dream,
It wasn't me that made it fail,
"And no don't try to blame me at all."

Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not me," says the feckless financial news writer,
Pounding hopium print on his iPad typewriter,
Sayin', "The MSM ain't to blame,
There's just so much danger in the IPO game."
Sayin', "Ponzitorial is here to stay",
It's just the old Wall Street media way.
It wasn't me that made it fail.
NO, IT WAS THOSE ZERO HEDGE BLOGGERS AFTER ALLl!!!
