Dan Bull, VI Seconds - Shut Down lyrics

Good day to all Americans
I'm here with a catastrophe
And a number of questions to one
I'm hoping will answer these
My name is Shizzy Sixx with the DB6 News

And I'm Dan Bull, here to discuss the issues

OK, recently it seems America
Caused a blunder fallen under, suffered
The reason why is what we all have wondered

Capitol Hill were meant to passing a bill
About how America was splashing it's mils
But they were lacking the skill
Lagging until it was too late and shut down

But now that it's shutdown and sundown
Dan, what now?

Well, first an urgent purge
Of federal workers essential ones will stay
The rest will be worthless

Along with being worthless
With hungry mouths and stress
Do you have any idea how
Many people it'll affect?

Well, 800, 000 are not deemed essential
So their diaries are gonna
Be really uneventful

The eventual tears will be a lot to see
What exactly will this do the economy?

We will see a drop in
Stocks and profit's immediately
The longer it goes on
The more it eats into the GDP

Dropping quick as a DDT
I can't help but feel choked up
Dan, since you're in the office
Care to explain what's the hold up?

Yeah, of course
The Democrats are in a never-ending spat
With the Republicans on just how
To spend their tax

And because that, we can't relax
There's drama here care to tell me what that
Has to do with Obamacare?

Well, some Republicans believe
That social healthcare
Is so bad for welfare
They're ready to go out there
This is nail-biting stuff
For Obama's cuticles and equally key play
For major pharmaceuticals

Seems for some of these guys
Being in office is unsuitable
I'd rather see them clean cars
And never see a cubicle i'm sorry
I'm just enraged and took a slight detour
Now my next question is:
Has this happened before?

The last shutdown was nearly 20 years ago
Lasting 21 days
So this appears to show that it could
Take a serious amount of time
To resolve what's a fuss about a dime

Which is a shame, it's like a game
With our funds is being played
But during the whole fiasco
Does the President get paid?

Yep
The President's still getting sent a paycheck
With everyone in Congress, it's a safe bet

At this point
I just feel that America neglects me
But just to be sure
How does this whole thing affect me?

Well, in many ways
You won't be left on your own
But won't be able to get
A passport or federal loan
But despite the major changes that
We're sure to see
It won't affect national or social security

Well, I suppose that's a positive
Diminishing the shame
But the biggest question here is:
Who are we to blame?

Yeah, who's responsible for
Digging this hole?
Well, opinion polls suggest them
In control of Congress while about 10% less
Blame the President for getting us
Into this bloody mess

Well Dan
I appreciate you taking out the time
To elighten us here at DB6 at five, now
We wait to see if we're out of luck now
Or if power returns to the system to end this
SHUTDOWN
