Economy song (draft 1)
Note: Yeah. This is another satire of mine. If you don't know the original or can't figure out (amazingly a number of the lines could've stayed intact) this song was originally sung by a character notorius for lying. The cake is a lie. It does need some work, but what the hell. Either I post it now, or it will probably never happen.

This was a triumph
I’m making a note here: huge success
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Cash for Clunkers
We will give you money for a new car
For the good of businesses
Except the ones from Japan
But there’s no sense crying over every fault
You just keep on voting till this country defaults
and the pork gets passed, for 4 years it will last
And our economy is just fine
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you took my check and spent it
And spent all my medicare
My future SS, god knows what else
And as my future's damned it hurts cuz
I'm so happy for you
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
It shows GM's sales down 20% over time
So I'm glad I got damned, and in no way was I scammed
And our economy is just fine
Go ahead and leave me
I think I’d prefer holistic meds
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Maybe the U.K.
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway the debt is great
It’s only at nine trillion
Look at me still talking when there’s bills to be passed
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not assed
I’ve petitions to sign, US businesses aren't in decline
And our economy is just fine
And believe me the economy's fine
I’m being damned and it is still fine
I feel fantastic and it is still fine
And while you’re dying it'll still be fine
And when you’re dead it will still be fine
Still be fine
Still be fine
