I decided to have a little fun with tragic current events by putting news reports together into a cheery song. The song tells the tale of construction cranes collapsing, victims of the global war, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, jobs being sent abroad, governmental social program failures, and police brutality in a jaunty little tune.
(Sung to the tune of "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" By B.J. Thomas)

Cranes keep a falling on my head
But that's not the reason that my
Friends all turn up dead
Dyin' overseas
Oh, cranes, they keep fallin' on my head
Keep on fallin'
Cause I just done me some talking to the bank
And I said I didn't like the way I just got yanked
Foreclosure's such a bite
Oh, cranes, they keep fallin' on my head
Keep on fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The cops that come to meet me won't just greet me
It won't be long till Freedom Cops come up to beat me
to beat me
Cranes keep a falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my family will e'er get fed
Jobs are shipped abroad
But, I'm never gonna stop the cranes, they keep fallin'
Because I'm free, I live in Democracy
