Bush Selling Out Social Security
Sung to the Harold Arlen tune
"Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea"

They'll ensnare you
And try to scare you
Into thinking it won't be
A horrible catastrophe.

They'll insist that
I'm a dingbat
For claiming before long
It's headed for the deep blue sea.

Don't they realize how wrong it is
   to manufacture crises that don't exist?
That scaring the bee-jeebers out of ev'ryone
   is diff'rent than a slight arm twist?

So I dare you
Not to let them scare you
Into thinking you will be
Securer if we let things be.
