Accountant for the Government

I’d hate to be an accountant

For the Federal Government

And having to keep track

Of all the money that’s spent

Billions of dollars’ given

To aid in disaster relief

Rebuilding all the homes

Destroyed beyond belief

And millions of dollars spent

To keep the banks from failing

From making bad investments

Their customers were ailing

Millions of dollars’ given

To help other countries in need

But not enough dollars spent

On our people to house and feed

And military spending

Is always out of sight
To countries far away
Our troops will have to fight

Their budget isn't balanced
And the deficit is high
But they'll collect our taxes
Until the day we die
