Raise the ceiling © PETER ANDERSSON A MUSIC PARODY BASED ON: "SAILING" BY: ROD STEWART BONUS QUOTE: "I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart." E. E. CUMMINGS		From the news some days ago I learned about the current so called debt ceiling crisis in America, it seems to me there is no limit to the lengths at which politicians (from any party) will go to get attention to themselves, but as the word "ceiling" was used by everyone interviewed the old Rod Stewart hit "sailing" kept popping up in my head. I've never borrowed it for a parody before but here it is with some words of un-valuable advice for the stalling US congress. ;-) The original song and a video for it can be heard/seen HERE. Raise the ceiling, raise the ceiling Call your friends 'cross the sea Raise the ceiling, fix the budget With a trillion, maybe three Stop denying, stop the crying 'Cos the chest's running dry Stop the whining, at least out loud Go in-debt thee - endlessly Can you maybe, can you maybe Sign more debt bills, every day Stop denying, and all the lying That you'll solvent be one day Can you pay the, can you pay the Older debt bills, no no-way Stop the acting, and all distracting Congress whoring is OK Raise the ceiling, raise the ceiling Call to Beijing 'cross the sea Raise the ceiling, fix the budget Get in balance, on your knees Or sell them Alaska for a fee Of some fourty gazillions (Add Palin free) Oh heed my advice from overseas From the floor © Peter Andersson 2011
