SUIT & TIE lyrics : "Sequester Style (Parody)"

[Intro]
I don't need my suit and tie, off with it
I don't need my suit and tie, off with it

I can't do a damn thing, a damn thing
I can't do a damn thing


Wait a minute. You ready, Stub?

[Verse 1]

I can't wait 'till I take a day off and not get paid
Tryin' to pay bills, pay bills, but can't pay nothin'
But I'll write a check and hope that I can fund it

But that's not right, that's not right
Hey Congress, we don't mind all the cuttin', hey
But if you study close, real close

You'll figure out something
Across the board ain't no way to do reductions
That's not right


[Hook 1]
So, I ain't gonna need my suit and tie

Sequester got me donning a visor tonight
Serving up burgers and shakes and fries
While I'm working in a second job

I'm on shift until first light
Passing out happy meals and sprites
Grease is filling up the air tonight

While I'm working at my second job
Working at a second job
Yeah, I'm working at my second job on my days off

Now we're in the furlough time
So I'm working in a second job
Working in a second job on my days off

Hey

[Verse 2]

Stop! the budget is a real mess ain't it
So bloated, nobody knows how to tame it
So they, kick the can down the road and take the day off

That's not right, that's not right
Oooh, Congress can't seem to fix it
I guess they don't mind 'cause we don't hold them to it

Ooh, let's vote 'em out, vote 'em out and send 'em all packin'
Clear both sides, Left and Right


[Hook 2]
So they ain't gonna need their suit and tie,
Can sit around and (*##$ and moan and whine

Back home in their mis'rable lives
When they're back in their home state
Start it all over with One Fourteen

Give us a chance to start it clean
I'll be running for me a seat
Say "Stub in Twenty Fourteen"

"Stub in Twenty Fourteen"
"Stub in Twenty Fourteen for the House"
You've voted for way worse before

Say "Stub in Twenty Fourteen,"
"Stub in Twenty Fourteen" for the House
Hey


[Verse 3- Rap]
No shoes for kiddies, oh

No steaks for the plates, no
Mac & Cheese for dinner guests
Give up going to the picture show

Nothing sucks like a pay cut
Got put out without a bonus or raise
This is what it's come to these days

Forget the restaurant
We fend for ourselves
Years of service don't deserve this

Hiding behind the others that we elect
This is furlough season
Got put out of work for no reason

Partisan bickering
You blame us, we'll blame you
Lack of black on the balance sheet
So they put us all on the street!


[Chorus 3]
And I ain't gonna need suit and tie
And we can't go to Applebee's tonight
Eating Spam for dinner four consecutive nights
'Cause they sent us all home

Sitting on the couch without the lights
And you can't buy that dress you like
Furlough weighing heavy in the air tonight
Losing ten percent of our pay
Ten percent of our pay

Ten percent of our pay for the year
'Cause now we're in the furlough time
Losing ten percent of our pay
Ten percent of our pay for the year
