Lyrics

I got a cab car
Driving this Honda til my eyes are leaden
Side hustling, Ubering
Managing to save just a little bit of money
I only eat one meal a day
Can’t afford to get this cavity filled
I just numb myself with Advil
And dog food isn’t too hard to chew

You see Bernie’s got a solution
He says that people should be able to exist
Even if they aren’t Uber-rich
Marie Antionettes and Oliver Twists
If some folks accept just a little bit less
Won’t sell my kidney for student loan debts
Tired to the bone, exhausted
Waiting for my friend to pick me up

When an ancient man starts knocking, on the window to the car
My heart beats fast, does he have a gun?
Dim lights on this street corner
And he motions for me to roll my window
And I don’t know what this fossil wants
And I am going to call 9-1-1, on this schmuck, I mean what the f*ck?

    The writing is vintage Berg. I love the class warfare angle of the Uber driver vs. crazy rich TK & then the sudden intensity of the chorus & BG music really brings it home. Awesome job!
