LYRICS
Let me see if I can figure this out…
The Federal debt is $16,699,000,000,000
Divided by 316,809,000 people
That must equal
$52,709 dollars… not to mention the 99 cents
Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and nine dollars
… not to mention the 99 cents
We the people of the United States
State that this ain’t right
Taxes, fees, fines and interest rates
Rate debt out of sight
Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and nine dollars
… not to mention the 99 cents
What shall be our presence
What shall be our essence
Does the essence of our presence make sense?
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm6 A
A G E A
This song is about raising the debt ceiling from it’s current limit of $16.699 trillion. That means every human in the USA owes $52, 709.99 without raising the ceiling. What will you owe after the limit is raised?
