WHEN YOU'RE SIXTY-FIVE

WHEN YOU'RE SIXTY-FIVE
(Sung to the tune of "When I'm Sixty-Four" by the Beatles) 
Parody lyrics by Bill Tong (an update of a parody I wrote in 1996)

When you get older, losing your hair
Not too long from now
Will you get a Social Security check?
G.O.P. has made it a wreck!

They have been "working," dysfunctionally;
Obstructionist hive
Feeding the greedy, to keep you needy
When you're sixty-five

(instrumental break)

There's no colder crew
Dangerous, not just absurd
More bullshit, they spew...

G.O.P.'s angry and blowing a fuse
Where's our money's gone?
Cut the budget and they say they're on our side
They're just taking us for a ride!
When you're retired, this money you'll need
To keep you alive.
They feed the greedy, to keep you needy
When you're sixty-five

Every summer we will sweat and swelter
In the humid heat, when A.C. costs too much
They don't give a damn
They've brought us to our knees
Big banks' bailout scam...

Heard that Rush Limbaugh spewing a line
Right wing point of view
He said just precisely what he means to say
"G.O.P.'s not going away!"

They have no answers; Whining's their norm
Obstructionist hive
They'll feed the greedy, to keep you needy
When you're sixty-five.
