Pulled this old one out of the archives and kinda polished it up a bit. I don't usually write parody lyrics but I thought it may be appropriate right about now. Hope you like it.

Thank God for the Democrats
by: BK Williamson © 5/15/2013
Well I wake up in the mornin’ just about noon
Lay around the house an’ I watch cartoons
knowin’ it’s gonna be Miller Time soon
Thank God for the democrats
I got my Welfare check cause we’re sharin’ the wealth
My disability and my Food Stamps well
Just leave me alone an’ I’ll take care o’ myself
Thank God for the Democrats
Chorus:
Well I got the ol’ remote an’ a full refrigerator
My La-z-Boy chair an’ Arnold Schwarzenegger
I got free cable cause I stole it from my neighbor…
Wooo… Thank God for the democrats
Well I had a little trouble with the alcohol
The Free Clinic put me on the Adderall
If my Oxy runs out I just give ‘em a call
Thank God for the Democrats
Now I’m getting’ kind o’ slow but I have no fear
My Medicare pays for my Hoveround chair
But they cut my Meals on Wheels an’ that don’t seem fair…
Wooo…
Thank God for the Democrats…
Chorus: =========

lol...Well done. I was afraid to read it when I read the title, but I'm glad I did. A good lyric with humor an irony. Good work

Yeah, the title scared me a bit too, but it is a fun song.

Hey James,
Yeah, I was thinking about that after I posted it. Maybe I'll amend that title. Thanks for the response.

Hi BK,
This wasn't what I expected either -- fun parody!

I rarely venture over to the lyrics forums but saw the title in the What's Going On box and had to look in. I wasn't disappointed. Great satire here and clever writing. Some really good lines in there. It could be funny as all get out with the right musical score and right vocal inflections.

Bryan, You've got a good title. I'll say Amen to that. The rest of the lyrics look down on the riff-riff, equating the poor, the jobless and the handicapped with slothfulness, theft and alcoholism. Your song expresses what a lot of people believe. I don't believe it, but a lot of people do.

I have tried not to say anything about this but have decided to.
I get that you are being satiric with this, but these thoughts many really do believe, so in that regards, I am not a fan of it.
I am not either party, but I don't like labeling anyone, and I have been both poor and worked many years with the poor, and it is not something I could like. Sorry.
Cindy
