A Government Song

The way to manage debt

Is to simply try to get

More of it to pay the bet

While showing no regret.

Rolling over hefty sums

While twiddling federal thumbs;

Spending on one's party's chums

Is how the future comes.

The way to play for time

Is begging every dime,

While seeking some new paradigm

Aside from sprees of crime.

The promise and the hope

Simply cannot cope

With problems of this scope

Upon the slippery slope.

Nope.

The way to manage debt

Is to pay it back, and yet

Government seems quite upset

To shrink their silhouette.

Government! O, government! O why?

The way to manage debt

Is to pay it back!
