lyrics

There’s a Great Depression gripping our country
Millions of people are going hungry
Clearly, food prices are much too low
We must do something to make those prices grow!

We know economics: supply and demand!
So plow that corn back under the land
Slaughter those piglets, for Uncle Sam
Wouldn’t want to serve your country too much ham!

Hail the Tsar!
Hail Tsar FDR!

Japanese American infants sure look dangerous
We can’t afford to afford them due process
He’s issued Order Nine Thousand Sixty Six
To keep them from all their dirty tricks

Don’t you know there’s a war going on?
For your protection, we’ll shred the Constitution
Desperate times call for tyranny
The state will be great, just you wait and see!

Notes
Verse 1 concerns the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Verse 2 concerns the internment of American citizens of Japanese descent and the FDR administration's general disregard for the constitution.
