lyrics

There are lots of people in the world who claim, reassuringly, that they are not in it for the cash (as if they are not that deserving). Just something I’ve been observing.

If you count the dollars you might see two plus two adding up to three.

Dodgy thievish persons pocketing percents - How’d I come to expect this? Give me back my percentage.

You trick and steal and cheat and lie.
You’re pulling moves that we despise greatly

I’ve been told my art is just a cool hobby- how patronizing.

“Get a job and do this on the side”
I have heard it so many times.
I think it crosses a line.

Minimum, maximum, til it’s done, no more fun, maximum, minimum…

Didn’t go to college, people must think that I am doing this backwards. Am I doing this backwards?

No, we have got to make this work.
Get the money we deserve (and earned!)

“You’re in it for the money, honey - somewhat funny…”
“No I’m not, we’re hungry.”

Now, we have got to make this work
Get the money that we deserve (and earned!)

Sneaking a sunrise
right past a rooster
feeling so tongue tied
feel like a loser

sneaking a sunrise
right past a rooster
feeling so tongue tied
feel like a loser

Now I don’t even have the words to sing “na na na na na”
