Born to Pay, "Born This Way" Parody music video

It was pretty cool to work with Lady Gaga in this video. Not many people know this, but this is what she looks like without makeup.

Complete lyrics:
My momma said we had such national debt
I couldn't count on social security.
They used to make sure the retirement age
was set above the life expectancy.

She said, "We can't pay off the debt,
but we always just said
that we'd pass it to our kids someday.
So hurry, grow up, and get a job
because I've got some bills I need you to pay."

So I don't get upset
about the national debt
because I love paying interest.
I was born to pay.
I feel like I've got wings
when I see withholdings
on my paycheck, baby.
I was born to pay.

My left arm can lift a thousand pounds
because I wear this debt clock watch around
If I can make last forever, I wanna
even if I gotta rip off Madonna.

Holy crap! Stop! We just filled the debt clock,
but why stop at 10 trillion, I say?
We'll order a new one that can hit a quadrillion
that should last until Labor Day

Despite our taxes, it never ends,
and it gives me such a satisfied feeling
to know that we're not limited
cuz we can just raise the whole debt ceiling

It feels so good and right
to work all day and night
just to pay the interest I was born to pay.
Got debt collectors calling
from foreign countries
and so I'm learning Chinese,
cuz I was born to pay.

(In bad Chinese:
I was born to pay
Here's you money bag
The cheese is moldy
Where is the bathroom?

I was born to pay
I love orange chicken,
and Jet Li is badass.
I was born to pay.)

Now that the debt has grown,
I've got a kid of my own.
This is his lullaby, baby.
You were born to pay.

Rockabye baby,
you were born to pay.

Holly crap! This was so good!

If the quality was a bit better, it should definitely go on itunes.

@Darkmassses91 Thanks! I wonder if I should tweak it a bit and put it on iTunes, if for no other reason than it might be cool just to have a song on iTunes.

Wow, Kevin, how did you get Lady Gaga to do a video for you? Who knew she was such a wiz on economics?

(And why does she have a two-day growth?)

[FAILocracy]

@polemius01 Yeah, it was pretty cool working with Lady Gaga! She is quite economically savvy, and she looks pretty good without makeup. And who knew she speaks Chinese??
