Our Great-Grandchildren Pay, They May

It is raining on the Expressway to debt
A temporary snag; we will still pay
The Chinese supervisor steps off set
His local crew have little say

A temporary snag; we will still pay
Three, nay, four generations watch
Our great grandchildren pay, they may 
Loans taken with interest at a higher notch

Our great-grandchildren pay, they may
A kick back there, a deal sweetener here
Not consulted? An argument which holds no sway
The Chinese have you in their grip, severe

We have our own cost consultants here
The Chinese have you in their grip, severe
Our representatives were well informed
The verdict : the loan signatories over performed
