lyrics

BLACK PREACHER BLOW A LOT O’ STEAM
ABOUT FOLLOWIN’ THE GOSPEL
BUT MAN! SPREADING GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR JUST AIN’T
GON’ FIT IN MY WHITE SCHEME
‘CAUSE SOME TRAVEL VIA LIMOUSINE
AND I CAN’T AFFORD A TAXI
FAITH MAKES A GOOD EMOTIONAL CRUTCH
BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE MONEY

SO YOU CAN COUGH SOME UP
‘ELSE WITHOUT IT YOU’RE FUCKED IF YOU CATCH A DISEASE

I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY LOAN
AND LIVE IN A GOOD SIZE HOME
SO I CAN SLEEP WITH A T.K.O.

I’M PISSED AT ALL THE STUPID THINGS
THAT I LEARNED ABOUT IN COLLEGE
IF ALL IT GOT ME WAS AN EMPTY APARTMENT
WHAT GOOD IS MY KNOWLEDGE?

SO I’M COOKIN’ UP A CRAFTY SCHEME
I WANNA INFILTRATE THE MARKET
SO WHAT IF MY TIME AT THE OFFICE
STARTS KILLIN’ MY MARRIAGE?

‘CAUSE IF WE CAN’T MAKE UP
THEN I’LL START AN AFFAIR WITH MY SECRETARY

I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY LOAN
AND LIVE IN A GOOD SIZE HOME
SO I CAN SLEEP WITH A T.K.O.

about

Jef Shocki and The Workforce Seattle, Washington

"Jef Shocki and The Workforce is an 8-piece Emerald City outfit with hard grooves, big hooks and a lot of brass. These veteran musicians have been putting in extra hours to bring you somethin' that sounds just as good as it looks. Watch out Seattle - the band mixes blue eyed soul with the attitude and edge of the Clash and Elvis Costello, and they're coming to a club that's near you."
