Concrete Factory Blues

from Leigh's Spider Jam by Andres Roots

lyrics

I got a job at the concrete factory
I got a university degree
I’ve served two jail sentences
For stealin’ wine & a little cheese
I got a room with a little window
I live in a welfare society
I got three bugs & thirteen cockroaches
That cook & clean for me

Pretty soon I’ll live like an Injun
With a rucksack & a tent
Come first of May I’ll be put outdoors
Cuz I can’t afford the rent
I know it’s election time right now
But I just can’t run for president
I got a hard time & a full-time job
Wonderin’ where all the money went

Someone comes up to me
With a religious smile
Says would you care to read with us
The Bible for a while?
I says I don’t, that’s not my style
I already burn in hell
They says I’m in denial
I got the concrete factory blues
Someday they’ll give me concrete shoes
