Here are the lyrics:
DON’T YOU SEE?
Daddy came home
a little early today
Somethin’ bout layin off
and cuttin’ pay
Boss is makin’ changes
’cause times are tough
the dollar’s goin down,
and taxes goin’ up
Daddy says that Washington
is out of touch.
Government’s spendin’
way too much
So I thought about
what I could do
And that’s why
I’m writin’ to you….
CHORUS:
Don’t you see
Dear Uncle Sam
The more you give me
The less I have
I can’t afford
your charity
I got my freedom
Now Let me be
That’s America…
and that’s who I am
Dear Uncle Sam
VERSE 2:
Stop tryin’ to give me
what you think that I need,
I’d rather have my family
watchin’ over me
Don’t need to buy us
any medicine
I just need my daddy
workin’ again
It’s kinda complicated
for a kid that’s eight.
But here’s an answer
you’ll appreciate:
Stop spendin’ your time
overspendin’ our dime
I think everything
will work out fine!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
gas tax
estate tax
every breath I take tax
that tax
this tax
even got a gift tax
taxes when we use the phone
taxes when we sell our home
payroll tax
income tax
you’re missing all the simple facts
CHORUS

PowerLine Prize #5
Powerline is rolling out the finalist in their contest to protray the national debt. Here is number 5.
This one is longer the the previous entries, and I was not clear where it was going, particularly when it had a lot of students being so critical of defense spending, but the response by the Veteran and the summary of the problem at the end shows why this one made the top ten.
