words & music by Darryl Cherney

(Gm) Now America's got big trouble

It's called the national debt

We (Cm) owe 5 trillion dollars

And we (Gm) ain't through spending yet

(D) But I got the answer

To ful- (Cm) fill our endless need

It's a (Gm) little trick I learned from the federal reserve

And if they can do it so can we

And (D) what they do is....

Chorus

(Gm) Xerox the money

They xerox the money

They (C) don't think it's funny

They (Gm) xerox the money

They (D) just do it honey

(Gm) Xerox the money

Now you work a hard 40 hours a week

They pay you with something called cash

It used to have gold behind it

But now it's just some paper trash

And the rich keep getting richer

How do you think they get all that dough

They each got a little bitty xerox machine

And they love to just watch it go

And what they do is...

Repeat Chorus

Now the third world owes America

And America is broke

The banks are all a-closing down

Do you think this is some kind of joke

But don't you fall in no depression

Don't you lose your dreams

Just get yourself a twenty dollar bill

And then head to a Xerox machine

"Cause what they do is....
