lyrics

Geography’s a construct
We are here and we are there
Everything is fake except bad news
Patriotic mirror
Parasites are pulling hair
Bald ego guys are out protecting dudes
Do we dare to spark a joint
On the burning flag’s ashes?
Underwear and clinking glasses
Andrew Cuomo’s making passes
I’m not a war profiteer!
I’m not a war profiteer!
I don’t work here!
Any more …

You can put away the cuck chair
It’s just you and me tonight
I’m your life and I am not fair
It’s just you and me tonight
La da da da da

Existence is a construct
What are we? There’s no answer
No one turned away for lack of funds
Lost it in translation
No co-pay sunscreen cancer
No Big Bud hats and no more Philly drugs
Do we dare to spark a joint
On our quaint suburban lane?
There’s two Noahs on the arc
That’s why everyone is gay
I’m not a war profiteer!
I’m not a war profiteer!
I don’t work here!
Any more …

I don’t work here. I don’t have your size in stock. I will not piss in a cup. I’m not going to clean up on aisle 7. I don’t work here. The ICEE machine is still broken and that is simply not my problem because I don’t work here. I will not clean the bathroom or restock the sanitary seats. I do not know why the product is branded with a Prop 65 lead warning by the State of California. And most importantly, I don’t work here.

Expert In A Dying Field (Deluxe)
by The Beths

supported by 5 fans who also own “I Don't Work Here”

This album is the perfect mix of melancholy upbeat rock I need as we turn to spring. It's so refreshing to put on something that feels good to jam out to after a years-long music drought. My fave right now is "Expert In A Dying Field" which has some of the cleverest lyrics I've heard in a while with excellent harmonies. "Silence Is Golden" is my honorary second; I love the punky sound. tornadogal
