"Let's all leech off the state"

I find myself singing this on the days I need to call in to unemplyment...it's very fitting for the current times...lol.

In a sluggish Economy
Inflation, Recession
Hits the land of the free
Standing in unemployment lines
blame the government
for hard times

we just get by
however we can
we all have got to duck when the **** hits the fan

10 kids in a cadillac
stand in line for welfare checks
let´s all leach off the state
gee! the money is really great!

soup lines
free loaves of bread
5lb blocks of cheese
bags of groceries
social security
has run out on you & me
we do whatever we can
have got to duck when the **** hits the fan

Trouble is:

Those that know your plight empathise anyway and the finger pointers will just take it you are bragging now about being a 'free-loader', folks like that tend not to get irony in my experience.

Very true...Irony and sarcasm are not well-conveyed in the internet forums!

Love the film though, the director Alex Cox, from my home town, Liverpool, goes to film studies in California and almost right away ends up writing and directing one of the great cult classic films, and with a message to convey. I think he might like your lyrics too Ron

Peace Love and Understanding
