Federal aid, federal aid, we hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid
because the money is yours and mine.
The money is yours and mine.
I read in the papers, in real big print,
about a sugar coated 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, and 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
because 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 hurtin', 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.
when it's not federal aid, hell, the money belongs to
Federal aid, federal aid, we hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid
because 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 dobut.
Cause it's really our money we place in their trust.
So federsl aid, hell, the money belongs to us.
Federal aid, federal aid, we hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid
because the money is yours and mine.
The money is yours and mine.
The money is yours and mine.
The money is yours and mine.
