My tell it all video about recession and the struggle of the working middle class. This video features animation and all about recession, unemployment, overpriced health care, greedy big business and politicians.
I wrote the song in 1990 on my way to the unemployment office. In 1997, I made a video of a live performance in a library auditorium,with my old band(It was supposed to be for a local cable TV show,but that feel through). Then just recently,I have been adding animation to it. It has been quite a project!
Here are the words so you can sing along!
Too Many Chiefs-The Recession Song
Intro
Worked all my life, so hard each day
An honest living, pay my way
Under pressure, I get the job done
Pay my taxes to the elected ones!
People working, themselves to death
Corporate money, made from their sweat
One man's pain is another man's gain
Iam just a number in the big machine!
Chorus
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians
Mismanaged money, crooked politicians
Pencil pushers with their rolls of red tape
Dont know how much more, this I can take!
When the work,begins to slow down
You're told "Iam sorry" we don't need you around.
here's your pink slip,your reporting day
Now you have to live on half of your pay.
Chorus
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians
Mismanaged money, crooked politicians
Pencil pushers with their rolls of red tape
Dont know how much more, this I can take!
Election time, promises are made
Lower taxes, better days
Who's fooling who, you lying ones
Just want more money for your cocktail funds!
Chorus
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians
Mismanaged money, crooked politicians
Pencil pushers with their rolls of red tape
Dont know how much more, this I can take!

Excellent piece of work! Thank you very much for Sharing!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
