The Second place winner in the Powerline<\/a> contest to protray the national debt is a song.\u00a0\u00a0 Here is it:<\/p>\n

httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gxaWl8APBWU<\/p>\n

Here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T YOU SEE?<\/p>\n

Daddy came home
\na little early today
\nSomethin\u2019 bout layin off
\nand cuttin\u2019 pay<\/p>\n

Boss is makin\u2019 changes
\n\u2019cause times are tough
\nthe dollar\u2019s goin down,
\nand taxes goin\u2019 up<\/p>\n

Daddy says that Washington
\nis out of touch.
\nGovernment\u2019s spendin\u2019
\nway too much<\/p>\n

So I thought about
\nwhat I could do
\nAnd that\u2019s why
\nI\u2019m writin\u2019 to you\u2026.<\/p>\n

CHORUS:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you see
\nDear Uncle Sam
\nThe more you give me
\nThe less I have<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t afford
\nyour charity
\nI got my freedom
\nNow Let me be<\/p>\n

That\u2019s America\u2026
\nand that\u2019s who I am
\nDear Uncle Sam<\/p>\n

VERSE 2:
\nStop tryin\u2019 to give me
\nwhat you think that I need,
\nI\u2019d rather have my family
\nwatchin\u2019 over me<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t need to buy us
\nany medicine
\nI just need my daddy
\nworkin\u2019 again<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kinda complicated
\nfor a kid that\u2019s eight.
\nBut here\u2019s an answer
\nyou\u2019ll appreciate:<\/p>\n

Stop spendin\u2019 your time
\noverspendin\u2019 our dime
\nI think everything
\nwill work out fine!<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p>\n

BRIDGE:
\ngas tax
\nestate tax
\nevery breath I take tax<\/p>\n

that tax
\nthis tax
\neven got a gift tax<\/p>\n

taxes when we use the phone
\ntaxes when we sell our home<\/p>\n

payroll tax
\nincome tax
\nyou\u2019re missing all the simple facts<\/p>\n
