Super Congress Debt Committee - Lyrics - Capitol Steps

The Capitol Steps are an American political satire group. The group has been performing since 1981, and has released approximately thirty albums consisting primarily of song parodies. Originally consisting exclusively of congressional staffers performing around Washington, D.C., the troupe now primarily employs professional actors and singers. The Capitol Steps have performed on PBS, public radio and in various small- and medium-sized venues around the United States.

The Congress had a spiteful fight about the debt increases The Senate staff was out of cash to pay their office leases Now there’s a plan to keep this land from falling all to pieces Will our economy soon be about as strong as Greece’s? The Super Congress Debt Committee has been quite atrocious If they cut programs or raised tax it could have been ferocious And if John Boehner has a plan, it better be precocious Or in two years will reappear Speaker Nancy Pelocious Um *** iddle um *** iddle ah Um *** iddle um *** iddle ah Already in 2012, some folks are set to run We are looking at the candidates, where should we put our money Since no one ever fixes things when all is set and done We suggest you vote for politicians who are super funny The Super Congress may not solve a problem so humungous But we’re perplexed – did you expect to fix it in a song, yes? So we suggest we take a rest, we all should take a long breath Remember the word progress is the opposite of Congress!
