LIVING WAGE
Lyrics by: Otterpop
I don't want to be a zombie, I don't want to be undead
Don't want to be a slave to my living wage
But I gotta pay my bills, and I somehow gotta eat
Sure it sucks but there's no other way
Monday morning, drag myself out of bed
A weekend of rocking and now I feel dead
Gotta go to work and start the day
Somone tell me there's a better way!
I don't want to be a zombie, I don't want to be undead
Don't want to be a slave to my living wage
But I gotta pay my bills, and I somehow gotta eat
Sure it sucks but there's no other way
Working's a bitch, but it's the price that I pay
If I'm to have food and place to stay
LIVING WAGE NOTES
I wrote this song on a Monday. After playing two shows over the weekend, I was dead come Monday morning. I didn't want to go in, but I had to. I have to pay my bills and rent, and I have to work to do it. No one likes working - everyone would rather be doing something else - but it's one of those things you just gotta do. At least I have outlet (McQueen) to vent those frustrations.
