SING IT to the tune of Three Blind Mice

Grow GDP
Grow GDP.
SEE the economy grow
IT’S the only show.
CONSIDer what GDP REPresents,
FRACKing and O-il spills WE lament,
TRASH and WASTE of enVIronment.
Enough is enough!

(speak loudly:) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

FREE market growth,
FREE market growth,
The ONE-percenter’s oath,
The ONE- percenter’s oath.
Could ONE percenters solve our trouble?
EVEN that BUSTED HOUSing bubble?
NINEY –nine STUCK in a TERRIBLE muddle.
Enough is enough!
(speak:) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

FREE market growth,
FREE market growth,
The ONE-percenter’s oath,
The ONE- percenter’s oath.
GROWTH led US to the EDGE of a cliff.
ONE false MOVE and we END up stiffs.
MOTHER earth’s CRYing “Where’s MY hospice?
Enough is enough!

Grow GDP,
Grow GDP,
SEE the economy grow
IT’S the only show.
GROWTH’s the MANtra we hear ev’ry day,
SUNG to us ev-er-y THIS and THAT way;
BUT there are LI-MITS TO
GROWTH we say,
Enough is enough!
(speak:) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
