The Lyrics
All this talk of US "Recovery" is nonsense to the Middle Class who are either working "Near Poor" or not working and are poor. Even the rich are nervous about their money and investments worldwide. Unemployment remains at an unacceptable 8.6% nationwide avg. while inflation is gaining and jobs continue to be outsourced. Our debt at $15 Trillion is more than last year's GDP!!! America continues in fiscal crisis and Obama wants to tout foreign policy at a time when its all domestic- the fragile economy. And even 4% growth is nowhere near China's 10%!!! Plus, China is carrying US debt. While Obama plays "statistical" Recovery the avg, American middle class family lives in fear or has become poor.
This year do without
Not like years gone by
The money has run out
Our debt is too high
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Citizens are pissed,
Just getting by;
Obama promised change… it was all lies!!
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
He’s busy out campaignin’
Even though jobs are at stake
He doesn’t care about our needs
Or the Unemployment rate
8.6% still ain’t that great!!!
He’s busy bailin’ out our Euro chums
Instead of saving Americans
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
He’s busy out campaignin’
Even though jobs are at stake
He doesn’t care about our needs
Or the Unemployment rate
(He prefers) Strong debates
This year do without
Not like years gone by
The money has run out
Our debt is too high
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’
Recovery ain’t comin’
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
(He let us down)
Obama’s a conman
He’s led us all astray
He shuns the economy
Thinks problems go away
Wait ‘til Election Day (2012)
(Recovery ain’t comin’ around)
(He let us down)
(Recovery ain’t comin’ around)
(Forget that clown)
Not like years gone by
The money has run out
Our debt is too high
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around

Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
Recovery ain’t comin’ around
