Liner Notes
Ok so the name comes from my home boy bernie questioning this crazy dude about his support of babies not being protected from preventable diseases. not going to get into that debate here. i just thought it was a funny and deeply disturbing sound clip (at the end) anyway. though id rap a bit and then sing a bit.
I read a forum post here about how to switch up your songwriting. So, I thought why don't I write a song where the chords stay the same for the whole song (I think there's a name for this sort of song) and then not have a chorus or bridge or anything just write and write and write and see where it goes... thanks for listening. and keep going everyone ENCOURAGEMENT! yes. It's nearing its last quarter ....

Lyrics
Working hard. Working hard, so we can have some fun
Loverboy’s working for the weekend now the weekend’s done
Break our backs. Heart attacks. Thinking of drinking red rum
Take a break from raking these snakes. One for all and all for one
All cliches in every way. Read thesaurus and rearrange
We’ve used our biceps, fingers, toes, hand to mouth, better use our brains
Please don’t preach about a welfare queen. Your lies disproved. Your lives are lame
Follow for now power of the people say, Follow along there’s no refrain
If you cross the line you’re scab
I know you think you have it bad
But you don't know what we could have
You throw it in the trash
Realize the power you hold
Maybe don’t do what you’re told
They need us more than we need them
This is our message… send
Send into the void, we are not androids
By the sweat of our brow we toil, the plans of skum we’ll foil
The empires of greed burn down, try that in big town
We are the world stop now
We are the world love now

great way to mix up your songwriting just going going with the lyrics. sometimes I think of that as the ani difranco style ...
