Yes, it is bitter sweet. Sweet to hear a voice like Tennessee Ernie Ford’s, bitter to know the new meaning.
The Ghost of Tennessee Ernie Ford
The Ghost of Tennesse Ernie Ford
Lyrics by Jim Gossett and Lars Larson, Westwood Radio One
Obama got elected, now there is no end;
The Democrats wanna to tax and spend,
Tax and spend us into bankruptcy,
With a tax-cheat runnin' our Treasury.
You spend two trillion bucks...
what do you get?
No recovery but deeper in debt
St. Peter better call me fore its too late;
I owe my soul to the welfare state!
Obama is a leftist, as he can't deny;
Govern from the center, was a great big lie,
Karl Marx Manifest is his playbook,
And you and me soon will be on the hook.
You're spendin' two trillion bucks...
in unsecured cash,
Soon the dollar will be pure trash.
Our bondholders we have to appease;
We owe our soul to the Red Chinese.
Obama and his people are makin' a mess,
Bernanke's fired up the printin' press,
Printin' money that don't exist,
No wonder America is gettin' peeved!
You spend two trillion bucks,
They ain't done yet!
Obama and Pelosi (are) pilin' up the debt
I work hard for my money,
this I don't deserve...
We owe our souls...
to the Federal Reserve!
