Music: Ballroom Spies, "By George"



By George

Folks in town got themselves riled up
It seems there's been an occupation
Damn kids don't know their station
They've been camped out at city hall
for all the rest of us with
prior obligations

Tell the man I am
Kinda, sorta supportive
Tell the man I'm sorry I'll be missing lunch 




By George, Dear George
I'm pretty sure i was born post 1984
Such a sin, this predicament begins
Holding a bake sale while the rats are creeping in





Lately there have been too many new holes
Punched in unsuspecting belts
I guess the masses felt that
They were privy to certain basic rights
The likes of which grow scarce now
In the shadow of dwindling wealth

Tell the man no, 
I won't be watching "My Super Sweet Sixteen"
Tell the man I'm sorry I'll be missing lunch

By George, Dear George
I'm pretty sure i was born post 1984
Such a sin, this predicament begins
Holding a bake sale while the rats are creeping in

She punched in on time and tucked in her shirt,
Began doing what she does on every Tuesday
Every Wednesday
 

"By George" is from the Ballroom Spies' debut self-titled album available from Bandcamp and Itunes. They are playing tomorrow at Milkboy in Philadelphia.
