Hard Times

[Lightning Rod]

My 401-kaaay
they've taken it away
we've both lost our jobs
I've cashed my insurance
there's no assurance
we will survive

My 401-kaaay
has totally gone gay
the market took a dive
forget the investments
our real estate bubble has POPPED!
deflating
deflating
by the minute, by the minute
this house is getting smaller

so, there goes our retirement
it should be a requirement
to stuff your money in a can
the mortgage is upside down
and the place is falling down
we're back to where we began

we must take desperate measures
consolidate our treasures
rent a room, plant a garden perhaps
tighten up our belts, economize
cut all the corners, organize
we either perish or we adapt.

Let's don't be hoarders
We can take boarders
we'll slit the expenses
let down our defenses
be one big happy family
facing adversity

Hard Times
Hard Times
they bring us together.
where is my 401-kaaay?

the father of my children has taken care of me for 16 years longer than he had too. sometimes i work.
my son takes care of me now
old hippies have a hard time fitting into the system
never had a 41 k
there are holes in my employment record as big as swiss cheese. i have roomates with small children,hope all goes well for you . we try to make it together
it is not easy because there is always one roomate that has hissy fits when he does not get his own way, which is often
oh well not my stuff

i just got lucky and that i was a good parent

Good stuff, Lightning Rod.

Man, I should try and catch all this stuff if and when it gets recorded and put on S-8 radio...

cause its much the same over here
for those who have lost their income
