The Guns & Butter Song

Visit http://firedupfifer.com

Chorus
They promised bread and butter
They promised endless fun
Expand that social contract
Provide for every one

1.
Well, I like bread and butter
I like money spent
Protection not provision
From a government

Chorus
They promised guns and butter
They promised endless fun
Expand that social contract
Provide for every one

2.
They talk about provision
I'll tell you how it comes
They'll be gettin' re-elected
We'll be providin' the funds

Chorus
They promised guns and butter
They promised endless fun
Expand that social contract
Provide for every one

3.
Now, no more contempt from Congress
No more back room fun
Don't show contempt for the people
They're the sovereign one!

Chorus
They promised guns and butter
A great society
Provided from big brother
And now we're not as free

4.
No no no no more guns and butter
When it's down to what gets spent
Protection not provision
From a government

No no no provision
Yeah yeah yeah protection
[repeating]

Hey donnieork! Someone who knows me told me to check this out, and it proves she knows me well! This ROCKS! ALSO loved your "testimony" about it -- great article! People! Do a quick search for "Donny York" in pajamasmedia or WorldNetDaily archives. Sort of a think piece for the ages, or at least my generation.

"5 STARS" DUDE !! and yeah... a "campfire song" for my grandkids!

[MrWannabeskibum]

donnieork, take a bow : . . . Wow, this thing does have more views after just a couple days! Our jumbotron idea for Saturday got nix'd by the idea of sun glare (Would ya believe? ...or was it the high cost, REALLY Tom?) so maybe I'll have people just cluster around iPhones playing it together! We might be the 1st HUMAN dancers of this "outta here" kick line step you're describing!

[gopherscout]

Cool, over 18,000 views! This is such a great video!

[gopherscout]

I just love this video, it really captures how a lot of Americans feel about what's happening to this country! Job well done Mr. York!

[frickinme]

Hell yes! Let's be Americans again!

[justizguitar]

This is so true. We have moved so far from the concept that we are responsible for ourselves first and foremost that everyone now holds their hand out in belief that someone owes them something. It is time to teach self reliance again.

@TheRowenamorrisable YES. I confess to coming back to catch this again from time to time myself.  Like you, I don't get its not being WAY viral by now! Nobody I've shown it to hasn't liked it. But so far we're sort of an exclusive fan club. (not evfen 20K views?)

[TheRowenamorrisable]

JUST LOVE THIS! As one who discovered of this YouTube rather early, I take another look fairly often as the election approaches.  Surprising to me it's not more "viral" by now! For me it's gotten to be just a favorite song thing.
