Story behind the song
A traditional blues format with a contemporary theme - 'the gig economy'.
Lyrics
Well it’s the great gig economy, but I got those zero hours blues
Well it’s the new gig economy, and I got those zero hours blues
Well it’s caused so much pain since I goddamn wore those shoes,
Had a good week so far, made me twenty cents,
Had a prosperous year so far, baby, made me twenty cents,
But I spend all my money before I paid the rent.
They say “You work for yourself now, and not the man.”
They say “You’re working for yourself now, and not the man.”
But you see my chances of accumulating are really down the pan.
At the factory gates this morning, boss says “you, you and you.”
At the factory gates this morning, boss says to me “no, not you”.
I guess I pay on my old guitar, really, nothin else to do.
