Two Trillion Tons, TEA Party Protest Song

I came across this smashing video as I was searching for information about the TEA Party Protests to be held all across America this Wednesday. Following is a parody of Sixteen Tons as heard on the Lars Larson Show on Westwood One Radio Network. Lyrics by Jim Gossett and Lars Larson. Vocals by David Ford. Produced by Nick Archer.

American Tea Party

Two Trillion Tons

Obama got elected, now there is no end;
The Democrats wanna tax and spend,
Tax and spend us into bankruptcy,
With a tax-cheat runnin’ our Treasury.

You spend two trillion bucks, and what do you get?
No recovery but deeper in debt.
St. Peter better call me ‘fore it’s 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 Manifesto is his playbook,
And you and me soon will be on the hook.

You spend two trillion bucks, in unsecured cash;
Soon the dollar will be pure trash.
Our bond holders 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 printing 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 the money, this I don’t deserve . . .
We owe our souls to the Federal Reserve!
