lyrics

Another package on the doorstep
Tripping on the same damn letters
I can’t pay that sender
I wrote a letter but it didn’t get better
I’m all out of work searching for a new type of header
When will it stop?

I got a second job working hard
But all the money goes to the post just to pay it off
And there’s a big man sitting high
Looking at the numbers trying to find a way to pick my pocket

Buy, bill, stamp, send
When will it end?
There’s not much more that I can bend

Then it all came crashing down
Just as you broke me down
They fired all the help without warning
Up at the top they’re wearing million dollar socks
To keep their feet from getting wet from the flood that’s coming

All helping hands
Run for dry land
We all need to build this boat together
The tide is high, the margin’s thin
All your profits still can’t buy the weather
The market’s open come on in

Swim for shore get to the beach
Money’s more than you can teach

We all need to build this boat together
The tide is high, the margin’s thin
All your profits still can’t buy the weather
The market’s open come on in
