about

Bored outta my wits and want to go back to work: government shutdown FY19

lyrics

Been working for the man
And the people too
Didn’t ask for nothing but a pretty office view.
They say you’ve gotta love the work you do or else you’ll chuckle at how little they pay you
Been working for the man.

Been waiting for the man
To pull us through
Patience ain’t easy when you’ve got a job to do.
The stalemate is the price we pay when the people upstairs gotta have their way.
Been waiting for the man.

For three long weeks I’ve paid my dues…..
I got the gubbmint shutdown blues.
