Do You Know the Way We'll Pay?

Do you know the way we'll pay?
We've been in debt so long. We bought high priced fuel, okay
Do you know the way we'll pay?
We'll go work overseas where our jobs went away

GM is a great big factory
Debt driving SUVs and cars
In a week, maybe two, they'll sell at par
Weeks turn into years. Pensions are dropping fast
"Mission Accomplished" is most absurd
For parking cars and pumping gas

Do you know the way we'll pay?
Printing cash for this rat race. What can they buy today?
We were born and raised to pay
We'll go work overseas where our jobs went away

Lies and torture are not magnets
They can push us far away from home
With RFIDs in our pockets we're never alone
Crops turn into dust and blow away
And there we are without much food
We'll "thank" our president anyway

I've got lots of friends who'll pay
Do you know the way we'll pay?
Can't wait until I'm asked to pay

It isn't me. They are created by my robot... my girl robot!

Just feed in a random Bush speech and a random song. Why does she keep spitting out attempts at dark sarcastic gallows humor though? It's a conundrum!

When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. - Confucious
The nation is prosperous on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole? - Will Rogers
There are 9,000 hedge funds out there. There aren't that many smart people in the world. - Michael Driscoll, a trader at Bear Stearns & Co. in New York
