lyrics

nobody wants to work no more
for seven dollars sweeping floors
when the place ain't busy,
you gotta find stuff to do
I'm gonna hitch my rickety old guitar
to a shotgun blast
'cause I'm looking forward to a life of purpose & mystery with you

$15 won't pay the rent
and that's a high wage- plus $.20 a year if you're lucky
to find a place so kind
but the health insurance premiums rise
and the politicians cast their lies like street craps,
and they sweep up every time

so baby I'm gonna find us a plot of land
with a little home to put a family in
and blackberrys growing near a garden bed out back
we'll get a chicken coup and a wood stove too
and I'll split logs in the yard with you
inventing a living out of living into our crafts

$20 barely pays the bills
and neither of us have the kind of skills to make that money
even if it seemed the way
we never wanted to be rich- just a better world
so we didn't prepare for having us a little girl
& the time we wanna give her every day
