    'Uncle Sam is Sick' by Steve Fowler

    Uncle Sam is sick
    Yeah, heart, lungs, arteries—
    And you know he is an addict,
    Gotta have his luxuries,
    Borrows money from his enemies
    Which never reaches his extremities.


    Uncle Sam is sick
    You all know the malady:
    An addict makes his family pay,
    Pimpin' Lady Liberty
    Right out in the light of day.
    Keeps his bank account full
    By chargin' kids to go to school.


    Uncle Sam is sick
    Sam has always been a bully,
    Stealin' stuff from other folks
    But now his greed has blossomed fully
    He's the butt of nasty jokes.
    “Sick is good,” he thinks with glee,
    “Helps to grow the G.D.P.”

    Uncle Sam is sick
    9-11 was his heart attack.
    Now he's hangin' with a crowd
    Of plutocrats and autocrats
    And braggin' 'bout it right out loud.
    Poppin' pills in fancy cars,
    Thinkin' he can fly to Mars!


    Uncle Sam is sick
    He sure needs an intervention—
    Tellin' the truth is a good first step,
    Help hin set a sober intention,
    Help him fix his damaged rep,
    Help him redirect some wealth
    To improve his mental health.

    Uncle Sam is sick
    Not-for-profits are getting' bigger
    To threat the symptoms he reveals,
    But 'cause his finger's on the trigger,
    He thinks no one can stop his deals.
    Still, before he runs his final scam
    We gotta 12-step Uncle Sam.

    'Cause Uncle Sam is sick!
