DOESN'T WORK FOR ME

Another no-choice interview
That didn't work too well
He wanted to know my political views
And my taste in bed as well
I only came cos the rules got changed
I said, just take me on
Six months of me and for you it's free
And when I'm done- I'm gone

This working doesn't work me for
I'm paying to get off my knees

And then he got spontaneous
My job is yours! he cried
I'm wasting breath and sick to death
Of all these suits and ties
My life is on repeat until
65 and rising
I'm told exactly what to tell
And none of it's surprising

This working doesn't work for me
I'm paying to get off my knees

But where's the choice when the loudest voice
Cries 'Growth at any cost'
The greed machine needs poverty
To show what can be lost
Whoever doesn't want to work
Should work with those who share
The experience of the real expense
Of learning not to care

And there in some forgotten room
That is forever open
The poor and disillusioned
Traded styles of desperation
One will work to stay alive
The other wants but cannot buy
Both will see the positive
In a life they haven't even tried

This working doesn't work for me
I'm paying to get off my knees
