Hallelujah, I'm a Bum (Automotive Bailout?)

It might help to fully learn a song before you record it, but I'm sure I wouldn't have the guts to post this rewrite of that old hobo classic later:

When I watched the news
Saw three rich old men
They asked Uncle Sam
to give 'em a hand

Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah bum again
Hallelujah Give us a hand out!
Revive us again.

There was GM and Ford
and Chrysler again
Singing brother can you spare
a couple billion

Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah bum again
Hallelujah Give us a hand out!
Revive us again.

We haven't a dime
You're all out of luck
Money's all spent
by the lamest of ducks

Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah bum again
Hallelujah Give us a hand out!
Revive us again.

Please don't steal songs by the IWW

@dhead22 @dhead22 This song is an American folk song from roughly 1897 (look it up on Wikipedia if you must). I rewrote the lyrics to suite my thoughts on current events over a year ago. This song belongs to everybody. Please educate yourself before accusing. Thanks!

And the war costing the nation billions doesn't count? Whose idea was the war right winger?

yeah ngasalon. he has been so great we'll never have another white male president again. all politicians suck, republicans controlled everything a few years back and they spent money like drunken sailors on shore leave too.
