Raise The Debt Ceiling Rap - Debt Crisis Gets A Theme Song

Video - Read more here.  The lyrics are actually pretty decent.  Most of you will be pleasantly surprised.  A collaboration of libertarian Reason Magazine and Remy Munasifi.

"You're looking for some cash it's about to get heavy / I got some big ol' piles of money and guess what -- they shovel ready."  Complete lyrics inside.

Raise da debt ceiling!

Raise da debt ceiling!

Raise da debt ceiling!

Raise da debt ceiling!

14 trillion in debt

but yo we ain't got no qualms

droppin $100 bills

and million dollar bombs

spending money we don't have

that's the name of the game

they call me cumulo nimbus

because you KNOW I make it rain

bail out all kind of cars

got all kind of whips

ladies ask me how I get em

I tell em STIMULUS

Social Security surplus?

Oh, guess what? it's gone

I got my hands on everything

like Dominique Strauss Kahn

ain't got no Medicare trust fund

son, that's just absurd

spending every single penny that

we see, son, have you heard?

ain't got no moral objections

ain't got kind of complaints

ain't got no quantitative

statutory budget restraints

Yo, we up in the Fed

and we living in style

Spending lots of money

while we sipping crystal

still making it rain

and yeah it be so pleasing

wait, not making it rain--

we be "Quantitative Easing!"

QE1, QE2

QE4, QE3

Dropping IOU's

in every fund that I see

printing the cash

inflating the monies

callin up China

"a-yo we straight out of 20's!"

in the club

we be louding out

while to the market, yeah

we be crowding out

on the beach getting tan

and sipping Corona

we got a monetary plan--

and it involves a lot of toner...

So if you look at the chart

and examine the trend

we borrow 40 cents of every

single dollar we spend

and non-discretionary spending

increases every day

do you have a comment for Committee?

I MAKE IT RAIN

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker

would you beam me up?

A Congressperson cutting spending?

Couldn't dream me up

We're gonna default

if we follow this road!

I should have thought of this

14 trillion dollars ago!

I'm the king of the links

I'm a menace at tennis

I'm sticking spinnaz on my rims

picking winnaz in business

if you're looking for some cash

it's about to get heavy

I got some big ol' piles of money

and guess what--they shovel ready
