by Steve Downes
Must write must write
must work must work
minimum wage or better
can’t be too physical
got a bad back
can’t be too stressful
bend under pressure
can’t be too sexual
haven’t got the legs
Must write must write
must work must work
minimum wage or better
can’t work for corporate
I’m an anarchist
can’t work for church
I’m a heathen
can’t work for commune
I’m a free spirit
can’t work for capitalist
I’m a lazy sod
Must write must write
must work must work
minimum wage or better
please give job
I’ll do anything
Except list above
