lyrics

To not earn a dime is to step out of line
Save yourself the trouble and commit yourself a crime
To listen to the master will not save you from disaster
Take yourself away from the grime and end your pantomime
You can starve on the dole or you can live in a cage
Or get the worst of both worlds scraping minimum wage
Stuck as a sheep in this modern age
You should stand up to your enemies, let them know your rage

We won't answer the payroll call
We'd rather sleep in the day
We won't answer the payroll call
We'd sooner starve and wait

Not looking for a job doesn't mean that I'm not motivated
Taking cues from bosses makes me feel like I've been automated
Finding a job will send you mad
A life of crime will turn you bad
Choosing between a cage and dreams and you will know that you've been had

Lack of job is seen as treason
Seen as you have no reason
Always seen as sleazin'
But life on the dole be breezin'
The government has you fearing
And welfare deemed endearing
And the workfare’s always nearing
So rebellion keeps appearing

We won't answer the payroll call
We'd rather sleep in the day
We won't answer the payroll call
We'd sooner starve and wait

We won’t! Answer!
We won’t! Answer!
We won’t! Answer!
We won’t! Answer!

We won't answer the payroll call
We'd rather sleep in the day
We won't answer the payroll call
We'd sooner starve and wait

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
