Overtime
Worked extra hard
just to get robbed
by Uncle Sam
Overtime on a job
taxman named Bob
said I'll be damned
How can Bob
cause me to starve
holding a can
Is Bob a Stan
of Uncle Sam
saying he's the man
Working these hours
so they can devour
my little dough
Giving me just enough
keeping things rough
like I'm a ho

And you never lied
Over 8 hours of OT and yo pockets get raped
You almost bring home less per hour after 12hrs OT than on 2hrs OT
Tell me to work
Then give my money to some fat do nothing in Congress who also wants to rule every other aspect of my life

Yup, that's life for most people. I wish I knew a way out but I haven't found it yet. And I tried hard for years.....

Thank you. I feel that there's a correlative comparison between Uncle Sam/us and pimp/ho relationships.
