The Lyrics

When the loan is worth more than the house
And families move into cars
Their jobs will be exported, and who'll be left to starve?

This is the dawning of the age of austerity
Age of austerity
Austerity
Austerity

Bureaucratic debt expanding
Politicians fillibustering
No more stimulus provisions
Bail-outs, tough health-care decisions
We have reached our limitations
When's the next inauguration?

Austerity
Austerity

It's good to see a parody that preserves TOS rhymes as well as meter! 5s (except "Politicians fillibustering" could be "Senators distrust our Founding")

In TOS, the song is repeated. For example, see ~60s/hairmusical2.shtml
