Who are the ones laughing?
What do they think is funny?
They seem to be doing alright
While we’re running out of money
All of their joy comes from us
Government taxes us and pays them on time
But if we run out of work
They won’t get a dime
The world as they knew it
Begins tumbling down
You can’t sustain entitlements,
When all the money is gone.
You can fake it though
For a little while
Then notice that our debt
Is forming quite a pile
Just one thing to do then
Besides the prayers and the curse
Get someone in there
Who can manage the purse
Who can work for
Smaller government and less spending
Fair tax and good law
Property rights and fair trade
That about says it all
With progress like this
We can all have a grin
Anything less
And nobody will win.
