THE REPUBLICAN/TEAPARTY ANTHEM ©

(Sung to the tune of the refrain of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab")

They tried to make us to raise the debt cap, we said "No, No, No."
Now our credit rating's down and we query with a frown, "So? So? So?"
As long as the POTUS flops, we're happy as hogs in slops.
They tried to make us to raise the debt cap, we said, "No, No, No."

They tried to make us pass a jobs bill, we said, "No, no, no."
Yes, and we think if the 'conomy does sink you will know, know, know.
We don't care a whit, if the country goes to shit;
They tried to make us pass a jobs bill, we said, "No, no, no."

We don't care about the poor folks, they can just blow, blow, blow.
If the good Lord really loved them then they wouldn't be so fuckin' po', po', po'.
We've got our own loot in hand, and we just don't give a damn,
We don't care about the poor folks, they can just go, go, go.

If you ain't got health insurance, too bad, that's just tough, tough, tough.
When you get a sickness then you're gonna find it's really rough, rough, rough.
As long as I can pay for mine, I believe I'll do just fine.
If you ain't got health insurance, too bad, that's just tough, tough, tough.

Let's try to make the rich still richer, that would be good, good, good.
The poor have more wealth right now than they really should, should, should.
Minimum wage is way too high, the poor really need to die.
Let's try to make the rich still richer, that would be good, good, good.

REPEAT FIRST VERSE.
