Fed Up

Fed Up (with the Shutdown) Go to work everyday, but I don’t get paid MasterCard creditor chain letters said I was a New America debt slave Was Union told the Federate zeroes on my paycheck is retroactive Ain’t got no money to buy food tho’ ... guess I have to survive on government sound-byte fumes to live I’m fed up with the Federal shutdown, I’m sick and tired of listening to Dem Republican clowns Been going to work every unpaid day, and I ain’t noticeably gotten any Benjamin balm better So weary from getting frozen wages — I seek chimney heat, by bitterly burning those personal property auction letters Was blue blot told the blank gray zeroes on my pay stub is rebel non-negotiable Ain’t got no cash to purchase gas tho’ ... guess I gotta suck up mo’ government sound-byte fumes for po’ survival I’m fed up with the Federal shutdown, I’m hurting from hearing White House noise by Congress clowns Go to work everyday, but I ain’t yet been paid MasterCard creditor chain letters said Freddie Irish me was a ***** Adopted dollar bill slave
