Having trouble understanding the financial crisis?

MSNBC's got your solution right here: Puppets!

On Dylan Ratigan's show today, a troupe of puppets called "Story Pirates" sang a song about how Wall Street bankers and politicians paved the way for the financial collapse.

Sample lyric:

"You can wake up every morning and work hard all the time,
Or you can do what I do and commit financial crimes."
