Sad story of an unhealthy married man from a conservative religious background who works himself to death attempting to meet the expectations of others.
Hi, I'm "One Wiener and Whine". But I don't actually drink wine.
Story behind the song
I once knew a guy like this. Yes, he's dead.
Lyrics
Mona said, "You better eat your stew.
I cooked it all up, it was all for you!"
It hit you like a hammer, kept you kneeling to the porcelain shrine.
You were a churchgoing man and you toed the line.
A steady father and a lover fine!
Now you're sicker than sick, you never have any time.
God says working is divine.
Mona knows that God wants you to be a man.
He gave you babies, better do what you can!
While the prices go up, the boss says there's overtime.
Yeah, o-o-o-overtime
the same damn day they said they're freezing your pay
You're going off wages to salary today
Bud! You look green! Suck it up, don't you know
you'll be rewarded in heaven where the joy bells chime?
Mona's sitting in a pew right now
"How could this have happened, Lord? Tell me how!
You laid it all out and we went by your Heavenly plan
for woman and every man.
We made all the babies that you asked us for.
He had all I could do for him and so much more.
He died like a rat on the workplace floor...
Rest in peace, he was a great great man."
