Story behind the song
The working poor.
Lyrics
Chorus I'm writing with tears in my eyes Seeking clarity under the seams To be make to 25 without a felony Is a dream I'm writing with tears in my eyes Seeking clarity under the seams To be make to 25 without a felony Is a dream Verse 1 We're stuck in the illusion That classism doesn't attribute to us losing Battling hypocrisy daily Not seeing public school programs excelling Moving so salient Because we have to pay the rent Diapers, bottles, formula and groceries We have to be at our best Like 5 star generals putting cadets to test So I'm out on the battlefield Needing more than minimum wage to pay the bills I'm doing this for my kids As a man I have duties to fill As a man responsibility is real Like HUD housing downtrodden daffodils As a man responsibility is real Like HUD housing downtrodden daffodils Verse 2 Industrial jobs are no longer here They no longer value Working with your hands My ed opportunities ran out of grants so (Ironically still) I 1st started working at a plant But happens if you don't water your plants? They whither and erode like the Grand Canyon My raise was literally worth two cents Giving me dreams of riding the bus instead of a Bent(ley) They gassed us up talking about job training But the ABC's of windows is not what we were thinking. Unsafe conditions and the lack of supervisors We wanted to trade up (a promotion) to change our conditions But I guess moving up was just the Jeffersons Because at the Christmas Parties they're treating us like one of them Cheers - not knowing I have to work the night shift at Sears Where I steal tools out of their tool shed I'm building up like the Aviator Because there has to be a place that's even greater I'm real weary because I was the last one hired Real dreary because I'll be the first one fired Chorus I'm writing with tears in my eyes Seeking clarity under the seams To be make to 25 without a felony Is a dream I'm writing with tears in my eyes Seeking clarity under the seams To be make to 25 without a felony Is a dream
