Can't You Hear Me Crowing (Song of the Wealthy)

(D) You can cut back
on food stamps
Cut back on welfare
Cut back on what
keeps us (A7) healthy
(D) Cut back on infrastructure
And things like that
But don't put
more (A7) tax
on the (D) wealthy

(G) One mil, two mil,
(D) three mil more
(G) Can't you just
hear me (D) crowing
(G) I went to my bank
I got the
(D) government to thank
Cause my (A7) wealth
just keeps (D) growing


You can tighten the belt on everyone else
But don't make it tighter on (A7) me
(D) But if you must
The government I trust
Will make
a loop (A7) hole
for (D) free

(G) One mil, two mil,
(D) three mil more
(G) Can't you just
hear me (D) crowing
(G) I went to my bank
I got the
(D) government to thank
Cause my (A7) wealth
just keeps (D) growing


Now some of you
might say
The rich must pay
But that's a mistaken point of (A7) view
(D) We create the jobs
For all of you slobs
Without us
you would (A7) never pull (D) through

(G) One mil, two mil,
(D) three mil more
(G) Can't you just
hear me (D) crowing
(G) I went to my bank
I got the
(D) government to thank
Cause my (A7) wealth
just keeps (D) growing


Now the corporations
Need a handout
If they are to
sur (A7) vive
But the (D) working poor
You must pay more
To keep your (A7) hopes a (D) live

(G) One mil, two mil,
(D) three mil more
(G) Can't you just
hear me (D) crowing
(G) I went to my bank
I got the
(D) government to thank
Cause my (A7) wealth
just keeps (D) growing


The government knows
Where the money goes
That is why
we pull the (A7) strings
(D) There is no left
Just a hard right
So join the Tea (A7) Party and (D) sing...

(G) One mil, two mil,
(D) three mil more
(G) Can't you just
hear me (D) crowing
(G) I went to my bank
I got the
(D) government to thank
Cause my (A7) wealth
just keeps (D) growing
(G) I went to my bank
I got the
(D) government to thank
Cause my (A7) wealth
just keeps (D) growing

Great Tune did you write that, it is right on target....

[LDsongscreen]

@gijoe44 Yes, one of my few original songs. Although the tune is taken from an old-timey song called Sales Tax On Women" THE WORDS AND SENTIMENTS ARE MINE.

[cariboubill]

That's the American way. Do you have the same problem in Canada?

[LDsongscreen]

@cariboubill YOU BETCHA! We got Steven Harper and his conservative pals.

[SirCoughsalot]

Well, at least Canada and the States can suffer together. Sometimes I really worry about the way things are going.

@LDsongscreen I was afraid of that. I used to like it. : )

[mrbeam123]

It´s a ironic song ?

[truckubuddy]

I'm not sure I hear this right. Are you FOR the Tea-Party or against? Catchy tune. Just wondered if it is sarcastic. ??? : )
