The Welfaremans Lament

"The Welfaremens Lament"

They turned off my electricity.
They shut my cable down.
There's no food in the refrigerator,
but there's no need to frown.
Because even though I can't pay my bills,
I know that I'll go far.
Cause I don't need shelter, TV or food
Just gas for my new car......
