Federal aid
federal aid
we hear it all the time
but it's not really federal aid
Cause the money is yours and mine
the money is yours and mine
I read in the papers
in real big print
about a sugarcoated 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
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
Cause 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 hurt
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
but it's not 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
Cause 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 doubt
Cause it's really our money
we place in their trust
so 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
Cause the money is yours and mine
the money is yours and mine
the money is yours and mine
the money is yours and mine
the money is yours and mine
