The Lyrics
My bank account is shrinking
My funds are running low
It leaves me with one option
And I know just where to go
Please Uncle Sam
Take care of me
I want government services
And I want them for free
Why should I work
When I could live off of you
Going broke ain’t hard to do
Remember when
I paid my own way
Saved my money for a rainy day
But you went and taxed it all away
Going broke ain’t hard to do
They say that going broke ain’t hard to do
I found it easy don’t know about you
No money in the bank
I have no one else but the government to thank
And I thank you Uncle Sam
Give me mine I’m holding out my hand
Please spread the wealth throughout the land
Going broke ain’t hard to do
My funds are running low
It leaves me with one option
And I know just where to go
Please Uncle Sam
Take care of me
I want government services
And I want them for free
Why should I work
When I could live off of you
Going broke ain’t hard to do
Remember when
I paid my own way
Saved my money for a rainy day
But you went and taxed it all away
Going broke ain’t hard to do
They say that going broke ain’t hard to do
I found it easy don’t know about you
No money in the bank
I have no one else but the government to thank
And I thank you Uncle Sam
Give me mine I’m holding out my hand
Please spread the wealth throughout the land
Going broke ain’t hard to do

as a half retarded conservative republican, i find this offensive. i meant to give you 5s but instead gave you 1s. its not the first time us republicans mixed up the votes. *hint 2000 Election hint*
That's nothing new there! Almost everybody has money problems and struggling badly. You got a great point there!
as christie said, almost everybody has money problems, too bad liberals wanna grab extra from anyone they can. it use to be called theft, now its liberal poilicy. oh, heck, this parody says that exact thing
Metrically differs from Sedaka (note spelling) & Carpenters at http://www.geocities.com/merrystar3/allysongs/BreakingUpIsHardToDo.htm & http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/carpenters/breaking+up+is+hard+to+do_20027421.html but very funny, casting gov't as both saviour & devil, a killer of incentive; so 354.
