Fis- cal _Dcliff talk as the globe warms,
Fis- cal _Gcliff talk as they _Ddil- ly dal- ly,
Fis- cal _Acliff talk on the _Gbube tube,
Fis- cal _Dcliff talk is a _Ascam.
There's the _Dwild fires and the dust bowl,
And the _Gheat waves and the _Dhur- ri- canes,
And the pols seem but to _Gdil- ly dal- ly,
And they _Dall want _A7just the _Dsame.

Fis- cal _Dcliff talk on the bube tube,
Fis- cal _Gcliff talk but to _Ddil- ly dal- ly,
Fis- cal _Acliff talk, fis- cal _Gcliff talk,
Fis- cal _Dcliff talk is a _Ascam.
There's the _DBlue Dogs and the Red Dogs,
And the _GDem talk and the _DRe- pub talk,
And they all seem but to _Gdil- ly dal- ly,
And they _Dall want _A7just the _Dsame.

See the peo- ple on the bube tube
Car- ry wa- ter for the ru- ling class --,
Me- di- care cuts, Me- di- caid cuts,
Pay- offs for gi- gan- tic greed.
And there's home loans and there's stu- dent loans,
And the debt col- lec- tors a- gen- cies,
'Cuz the rich need their en- ti- tle- ments --.
Let the com- mon good be damned!

With aus- te- ri- ty and with deep cuts,
They shall tear up so- cial safe- ty nets --.
For all dra- ma 'bout pos- te- ri- ty,
Fis- cal cliff talk is a scam.
With their pipe- lines and their tar sands,
They will sell off the en- vi- ron- ment,
But they don't care 'bout pos- ter- i- ty --,
As they buy and sell the Earth.
