Lyrics
Been workin' 12 months straight
and I don't pay no union dues (there ain't no union)
my roof is caving in
and my kids ain't got no shoes (sad state)
bought myself a lotto ticket
cuz I got the end of fiscal year blues (march 31st)
Waitin' on the government
to pay me what it owes (Lots of Money)
well I ain't got no cable
so there ain't no TV shows (cable cut off)
got a dang ol' call from Health Canada
they want a report on cash flows (call it accountability)
I'm stuck here doin revisions
till that funding comes around
and I'm eatin soup and beans
till that check..that check comes around
my dawg is eatin yellow snow now
cuz there ain't a bone, there ain't a bone to be found (not even a bone)
Well I ain't slept for 3 days (maybe 6, maybe a week)(a long time)
I got 6 meetings on the go (more than that)
I got 5 reports to do and 3 conferences to plan
I ain't got time for feelin' low (no time at all)
and I think about them up there in Ottawa, and Toronto and Mont-real
and I wonder what they know (not much)
SO I'm tying up them government phone lines
till that funding comes around
And I'm still out here workin' my tail
till that funding comes around
cuz there's too much silence out there
and there ain't no funding to be found
Been workin' 12 months straight (workin like a Dawg)
and I don't pay no union dues (there ain't no union)
my roof is caving in
and my kids ain't got no shoes (cryin' shame)
bought myself a lotto ticket
cuz I got the end of fiscal year blues
