lyrics

working on an application
it's a grant from this foundation
they don't fund our general operations
so we have to come up with some kind of side project
like worker cooperatives or an arts collaboration
a cultural festival with a face-painting station

it's the worst kind of small business
we're in a state of nearly constant fiscal crisis
i wonder what would happen if we shared the wealth
with the workers off whose backs i write these touching anecdotes
maybe then we'd see some member retention
free up their schedules to organize an action

when you think about catching up
you gotta leave yourself behind
wealthy kids saying they're so poor
claiming working class status, stressing out about work
and if it seems like there isn't any hope
well don't tell the kids i wouldn't want
that they know how bad it really is
what would they think of us

feeling kind of sentimental
all this cold weather, it's dredging up these feelings
that i haven't felt all summer long
i guess that's what we get for living in new england
maybe one good thing about living up here
is at least once a year you question what you're doing

when you think about catching up
you gotta leave yourself behind
kicking each other but we're smiling
nothing but ashes in the fire
and if it seems like there isn't any hope
well don't tell the kids i wouldn't want
that they know how bad it really is
what do they think of us
