Shut Down |
| Good day to all Americans |
| I’m here with a catastrophe |
| And a number of questions to one I’m hoping will answer these |
| My name is Shizzy Sixx with the DB6 News |
| And I’m Dan Bull, here to discuss the issues |
| OK, recently it seems America caused a blunder |
| Fallen under, suffered |
| The reason why is what we all have wondered |
| Capitol Hill were meant to passing a bill |
| About how America was splashing its mils |
| But they were lacking the skill |
| Lagging until it was too late and shut down |
| But now that it’s shutdown and sundown |
| Dan, what now? |
| Well, first an urgent purge of federal workers |
| Essential ones will stay, the rest will be worthless |
| Along with being worthless, with hungry mouths and stress |
| Do you have any idea how many people it’ll affect? |
| Well, 800,000 are not deemed essential |
| So their diaries are gonna be real uneventful |
| The eventual tears will be a lot to see |
| What exactly will this do the economy? |
| We will see a drop in stocks and profits immediately |
| The longer it goes on, the more it eats into the GDP |
| Dropping quick as a DDT, I can’t help but feel choked up |
| Dan, since you’re in the office, care to explain what’s the hold up? |
| Yeah, of course |
| The Democrats are in a never-ending spat |
| With the Republicans on just how to spend their tax |
| And because that, we can’t relax, there’s drama here |
| Care to tell me what that has to do with Obamacare? |
| Well, some Republicans believe that social healthcare |
| Is so bad for welfare, they’re ready to go out there |
| This is nail-biting stuff for Obama’s cuticles |
| And equally key play for major pharmaceuticals |
| Seems for some of these guys, being in office is unsuitable |
| I’d rather see them clean cars and never see a cubicle |
| I’m sorry, I’m just enraged and took a slight detour |
| Now my next question is: has this happened before? |
| The last shutdown was nearly 20 years ago, lasting 21 days |
| So this appears to show that it could take a serious amount of time |
| To resolve what’s a fuss about a dime |
| Which is a shame, it’s like a game |
| With our funds is being played |
| But during the whole fiasco, does the President get paid? |
| Yep |
| The President’s still getting sent a paycheck |
| With everyone in Congress, it’s a safe bet |
| At this point, I just feel that America neglects me |
| But just to be sure, how does this whole thing affect me? |
| Well, in many ways, you won’t be left on your own |
| But won’t be able to get a passport or federal loan |
| But despite the major changes that we’re sure to see |
| It won’t affect national or social security |
| Well, I suppose that’s a positive, diminishing the shame |
| But the biggest question here is: who are we to blame? |
| Yeah, who’s responsible for digging this hole? |
| Well, opinion polls suggest them in control of Congress |
| While about 10% less |
| Blame the President for getting us into this bloody mess |
| Well Dan, I appreciate you taking out the time |
| To elighten us here at DB6 at five, now |
| We wait to see if we’re out of luck now |
| Or if power returns to the system to end this… |
| SHUTDOWN |
