On the show…
The LiVE 88.5 Political Whirlpool with Tim Powers and Caitlin Kealey
No Pay by Sober Thought
Performed by North Easton
I’m behind on my bills
Missing out on little thrills
It’s been over two years now
I’m about to have a cow
Fix Phoenix now
Please pay me properly
Or shut it down entirely
This has gone on way too long
No one fixing what is wrong
So we had to write this song
Government said GO, IBM said NO,
Now we dread payday
Many paid too much, others not enough
For some there’s NO PAY!!
Turned down a jump in pay
Wouldn’t get it anyway
Costs a billion to fix
A blame game in politics
So now we’re rallying
Fighting for our salary
Government said GO, IBM said NO
Now we dread payday
Many paid too much, others not enough,
For some, NO PAY
All we need right now
Is hope for a change
Cuz ooooooh, we’re bleeding out
Government said go, IBM said no
Now we dread payday
Many paid to much, others not enough
For some no pay
NO Pay
