Boomers for Breakfast

from Late Convert by Sam Nabi

lyrics

Pay your artists and pay them on time
Pay your interns working on the front line
Pay your freelance contributors every last dime
Don't be cutting us short and then pretend it's all fine

You want to sit down all chummy and talk millennial things
Discuss politics over coffee and tell me what you think?
"It's technology gone amok and entitlement calling,"
That's why I'm absorbed in my phone when it rings
That's a nice pet theory but it's not what I'm about
I just replied to a client while you were running your mouth
See I'm a hustler now, and I might ruffle some feathers
But my rainy day fund ain't ready for this monsoon weather

We make the most of our hand and play the cards that we're dealt
And that means going in hard and that means shaking you down
'Cause we know we won't ever get a picket fence around our house
And it's hard enough to keep up with the rents in this town
So you wonder why I'm pushy with the invoice
Like you forgot your generation gave me no choice?
I'm swimming with piranhas and still trying to be nice
These boomers from Toronto trying to talk me down on the price? No

Something's gotta give, I hear precariat rising up
We 'bout to take over this mess, your time is up
And if you thought you were a good man, that you tried to give a hand up
That you're on our side, vibing to Get Up Stand Up
Your hippie revolution ain't no good here, fam
Take your good intentions with you to the promised land
We're here to undo corporate capital as best we can
And until then, you can clean your own fuckin bedpan
