It's been kind of slim pickings at the National Parody Administration since the defeat of Mitt Romney. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the other party seems to be coming to the rescue by providing some good material. This song is to the tune of "Take These Chains From My Heart", a plea from a jilted lover. You can hear two good versions of this tune below:

21 - hank williams - take these chains from my heart Powered by mp3skull.com
Below the fold is my parody version:
It's that chained CPI that's killing me When I'm old I'll have less security All my faith in you is gone But the hardship will go on It's that chained CPI that's killing me. Is this grand bargin with the GOP How you thank us for all our loyalty? We have fallen much too far From the days of FDR It's that chained CPI that's killing me. (Bridge) Show the old folks a bit of sympathy And forget all this false austerity For they'll need somebody there Who'll defend their Medicare It's that chained CPI that's killing me. It's that chained CPI that's killing me When I'm old I'll have less security All my faith in you is gone But the hardship will go on It's that chained CPI that's killing me.
