about

This song was notorious at our live shows since we made everyone clap along near the ending. It was the most fun I'd had on stage when we would play this. Also gave me a chance to vent about work and a my proto-anarchist identity. haha

lyrics

We are those people making coffee in the morning, we are providing goods and rendering services. We're in the stores and the factories, you don't see us, we're just figments of your imagination. We're not housewives, we're not children, we're not cripples or down-syndrome. We didn't have problems growing up, we just wanted something different for ourselves. We work hard, (ropefuck) to pay the bills, I'll gladly break my back so you can live (I'll grind my fingers to the bone so you can live) Here we are in the factories no doubt, building your machinery day in and day out, what is that about? 12 hour days, mediocre pay, just to try and stay at lower middle-class stage. I'm washing my hands, I'm making a stand against upper management and this non-union shop.
with another 10 hour day, with another 12 hour day, with another 14 hour day I'll gladly break my back so you can live X2, in a nice warm house, in nice new clothes, in a world full of possibilities that you may never know. I'm washing my hands, I'm making a stand against upper-management and this non-union shop, You don't understand you've never dirtied your hands as you stand atop the skyrise everyday buying/selling people's lives. I'm making a stand I'm making that plan to retire at 60 and start enjoying life right before I die. (claps) Weekend warriors unite, weekend warriors to fight. Fighting for the extra pay so we won't have to work as many days, get those few measly days off to finish off the stain on the back porch, Fighting so the bills are paid, so insurance payments can be made, fighting so the kids can sleep in nice new beds with nice clean sheets. weekend warriors X2

about

John A. Saccone Keyport, New Jersey

Blue-collar musician. I have to write and play or else I'll lose my mind. The life of an adult makes it nearly impossible for a band, so I'm going it alone.
That, and noone would have me.
For that reason I'm gonna try and write all the stuff I've ever wanted to try. Thanks for listening. Make sure to check out my recommendations section.
