SING IT to the tune of Whatever Lola Wants
Whatever Congress wants, Congress gets,
They want to grab our Social Security.
Obama hears their call for its downfall,
He goes along with their dishonesty.(atrocity?)
Their scheme is to end our pension,
And now they use the debt to shorten its dimension.
What government can do, to me and you,
Is diminish our Social Security.
What all the people need, we must have,
We must keep all our Social Security.
Tell those we voted for – we-must make sure
They’ll never be in Congress anymore.
We know the way they’re behaving
Will kill this program worth saving.
Let all the people know the status quo
Means we must keep our Social Security.
