Occupy Wall Street! - Inside Job (an original song by Norman Ball)

Though the jobs may fly away, the politicians always come home to roost.

Inside Job (N. Ball/T. Saputo)

Got a postcard from my job today.
Last month he kinda slipped away.
Set up shop with some third-world dude
who barely asks my job for food.

The hours are long with lousy pay.
He's up at four, gets worked all day.
They worship him six days a week.
On the odd Sunday, he lets 'em sleep.

Chorus:
Wanna see a grown man cry?
Make him useless, watch him die?
Ship his manhood overseas.
Shoot his pride out at the knees.
I hope you love that fancy life,
the country club, the trophy wife.
'cause you just killed a man today
and sent his lifetime job away.

Jobs over there receive their choice
of hungry men without a voice.
The nods and winks of starving guys
who'll jump in when the first one dies.

That spot on the assembly line?
I'd got to thinking it was mine.
But skippin' town is all the rage
'cause jobs won't pay a living wage.



Chorus:
Wanna see a grown man cry?
Make him useless, watch him die?
Ship his manhood overseas.
Shoot his pride out at the knees.
You better love that fancy life,
the country club, the trophy wife.
'cause you just killed a man today
and sent his lifetime job away.

Take this job and ship it!
I don't need to eat no more!

Great song, man.

Well played, well sung, well recorded...great lyrics.

You should do a song on that private..for profit corporation....known as the Federal Reserve...which is neither Federal...nor does it have any reserves.

We're borrowing money from a bunch of private bankers who have been given the right to print our money; that's where the taxes go; payments to a private bank...that they don't want you to know is private.

The Fed is American - LOL!
