The man, but not one we like...

Skirmish: Unopened package (@atornberg)
There is no demo for this song.

Lyrics

It's funny the way they shirk us
They're sunny but nay, they work us
We'd love to have a little profit
They shove bills, hap to whittle all it

We have nothing, they take all
We need something, rise or fall
We just want time with those we love
We don't have time for those we love

Gotta work! For the man!
Doing the damn best we can!

This is a sea shanty. Absolutely. @dotsandlines is right! :)

Thanks everyone!
@dotsandlines honestly had nothing in mind, but a sea shanty made for wage slaves sounds about perfect!

And that’s all we can do sometimes! Unwelcome the package can be!

That's the unwelcome package so many of us have had to open alright!

I'm curious what sort of a sound you picture for these lyrics. I can see them as a start of a work song/shanty.
