Tea party anthem

With apologies to American Idol champ David Cook. He sings "I'm still standing" and I hear "They're still spending."

As the debt goes up in front of us
It reminds us of things we want to do
To buy your votes again
Hold onto those voting blocs
Keep you in the party
We just need to let you know
And we just need to let you know

We’re not going to slow down
Spending the money
All these zeroes come and go
But we’re still spending
It’s trillions not billions
And taxing more millions
All these zeroes come and go
But we’re still spending

We know the bill’s confusing
We don’t care
The deficit’s high in the atmosphere
We really can’t make it right
That’s all you need to know

We’re not going to slow down
Spending the money
All these zeroes come and go
But we’re still spending
Tea parties rise up
Citizens wise up
As these zeroes come and go
We’re still spending

You believe that we can save you
And we’ll never let you fall
We’re not going to do that
We believe that we’ve shown you
That we’re a zero after all

We’re not going to slow down
Spending the money
But we’re still spending
Tea parties rise up
Citizens wise up
All these zeroes come and go
But we’re still spending
