This is one right up soft's street and its denizens. This is a post from Tan Kin Lian's blog. His recent entries have been about the High Notes/Minibond debacle. I think he's planning to have people singing this at the Saturday session in Hong Lin. See if you want to make a stab at it:
Do you hear the people sing
Here is my favourite song from Les Miserables. The title is "Do you hear the people sing".
Ths song is sung to reflect the frustration of the poor people of France, who are angry at the authority for not taking care of their poor condition. It is a stirring song.

Here is the lyrics:
Chorus:
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Chorus:
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Chorus:
Can someone change these words to reflect the frustration and anger of the investors of the structured products
------------------------------
Rewording of the song (contributed by an investor)
Do you hear our people weep?
Shedding tears of agony?
It is the wailing of our people
Who have been cheated of their money!
When the banks claim innocence,
and the authority's voiceless
There is a fight about to start,
for what is yours!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the disclaimers,
Is there justice you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to what's yours!
Chorus:
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Against the institutions,
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The tears of our people
Will be seen across the world!
Chorus:
UPDATE: I WISH TO CALL FOR THE WORDS TO BE IMPROVED FURTHER, TO RHYME
