FEDERAL AID

Federal aid, federal aid
We hear it all the time
But it's not really federal aid
Cause the money is yours and mine
The money is yours and mine
I read in the papers, in real big print
About a sugarcoated speech made by our president
With federal aid he thinks he'll win our trust
But federal aid, hell, the money belongs to us
He puts taxes on this, taxes on that
Just any kind of tax to keep the government fat
He says he's gonna give us federal aid or bust
But federal aid, hell, the money belongs to us
Federal aid, federal aid
We hear it all the time
But it's not really federal aid
Cause the money is yours and mine
The money is yours and mine
He started a new program, the Anti-Poverty School
I think it's a good idea, nobody wants to be a fool
Now he says he's running short of funds and that ain't no joke
But it ain't the government that's hurt, it's us that's going broke

Now if we could just keep most of the money we've made
There wouldn't be much reason to have federal aid.
Now I believe in helping the poor, I think it's a must
But it's not federal aid, hell, the money belongs to us

Federal aid, federal aid
We hear it all the time
But it's not really federal aid
Cause the money is yours and mine
The money is yours and mine

Now why should the president take all the credit
When the money we donate is what makes up his debit
Each time a disaster strikes our great land
Federal aid takes the credit for lending a hand

Now I'd like to think that my dollar helped out
And so would everyone else without any doubt
Cause it's really our money we place in their trust
So federal aid, hell, the money belongs to us

Federal aid, federal aid
We hear it all the time
But it's not really federal aid
Cause the money is yours and mine
The money is yours and mine
The money is yours and mine
The money is yours and mine
