Social Security

Sung to the tune of "Aquarius"
by Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni and Jim Rado
New lyrics by Ed Steffes

When I've moved into a smaller house
Adjusting for downsized desires
Then please don't guide me to employment
I'd love to stay retired

This is the age to take my Social Security,
Social Security
Security
Security

Solitude and relaxation
Solvency and wealth abounding
No more need to make a living
It's the gift that keeps on giving
It's a guaranteed annuity
that pays in perpetuity
Security, security

But the funds may not be quite enough
To last as long as you and me
They put the trust fund in a lock box
Then gave Congress the key

They've gone and squandered all my Social Security,
Social Security
Security
Security

Every younger generation
Helped support the ones who lived here before
Now we have an age division
And  a new young workers' vision
To pursue self-preservation
And account privatization
Support yourself, support yourself

When I've moved into a smaller house
Adjusting for downsized desires
Then please help guide me to employment
Too poor to stay retired

This is the age for working part-time at Burger King,
Part-time at Burger King
I'm budgeting
At Burger King
Whatever happened to security
Security
