| Damn, man. |
| I’m broker than an old VCR, man. |
| I need a job
|
| Are they hiring at your job?
|
| I got a stack of red bills at my house. |
| It looks like Valentine’s Day at the
|
| crib
|
| My kids are eating left-over leftovers, man. |
| I can’t fool them no more.
|
| It’s job time
|
| Every day every day
|
| Got to work every day
|
| Every day every day
|
| Got to work every day
|
| My God there’s got to be more to life than this
|
| There’s got to be a bigger reason that I exist
|
| Work to eat to earn my keep
|
| To ensure somewhere to sleep and spend the weekend buying shit
|
| Don’t need economists to know I need pot to piss
|
| Follow politics man I ain’t got time to think
|
| What I got to set aside for my retirement
|
| Cop a double shift pay somebody to watch the kids
|
| Sick of all this but can’t take an off day
|
| Doctor’s office I can’t swing the co pay
|
| Trapped in a network, lucky just to get work
|
| They celebrate every week nobody gets hurt
|
| Greed could never leave well enough alone
|
| They keep on squeezing till we bleed from every bone
|
| And we’ll strive hard and stress about the rent
|
| Probably still die poor and in debt without a cent but
|
| I guess I’ll carry my ass down to the county and see what they’re talking about.
|
| But
|
| You know they treat you like you shot somebody just because you need a little
|
| help
|
| You’re telling me you ain’t never been down on your luck
|
| Never tried to make them ends meet but just got stuck
|
| Never slaved at a gig like a bum with a cup
|
| Added all your pennies up and you still ain’t had enough
|
| And the jobs full up they ain’t hiring
|
| I’m barely surviving not enough to get by with
|
| Hunger is a constant problem stomach steady growling
|
| People getting shot in my environment
|
| Study go to college is what them people hollering
|
| Too many road blocks in the way its not an option
|
| To say that its impossible I would be lying
|
| But you ain’t got a chance if you’re not up in that top ten
|
| A couple got a scholarship but I am not them
|
| Ain’t got the skills to pay the bills so my pockets are thin
|
| So until I cop a gig and my hardship ends
|
| Fixing to line my self up at your welfare office again
|
| And I expect to be accepted as the man that I am
|
| Respectfully and appreciatively Ma’am
|
| God damn you must be out of your mind
|
| Do you see this Tea Party stuff, man? |
| Them people look broke their damn self.
|
| Are they serious?
|
| People stressing here’s the question
|
| How they get people drinking tea in a recession?
|
| It’s deception how absurd is this
|
| How are so many poor people conservative?
|
| A pro artist, I put it in the good music
|
| A con artist job’s to make you look stupid
|
| Lookie here I’ll teach you how to look through it
|
| First thing you need to know every con got a hook to it
|
| They seduce you with a little wealth
|
| Say you could have some of these crumbs for yourself
|
| If the government doesn’t make us help anyone else
|
| You stuck a red sign on your foreclosed house
|
| Make you think you’re taking back your nation
|
| Then they turn it over to a major corporation
|
| Those companies took the jobs overseas
|
| And you handed them the wallet out your pocket for free
|
| You’re staring in the sky with dollar signs for eyes
|
| The blind right wing of a bird that can’t fly
|
| Just a peacock with a poked out gut
|
| Who’s too fat to fly so his ass just strut but
|
| They’re so criminal minded we’ve been blinded
|
| Looking for an honest job and can’t find it
|
| They got a job bill we got a light bill
|
| If we don’t pay ours our life is quite real |
