    SMH at all these leftists that won’t accept that the average member of the working class is an ex-mercenary with the nazi Totenkopf tattooed on their chest

      Before: They call me the workin’ man / I guess that’s what I am

      Now: They call me Totenkopf man / I guess that’s what I am

      Song

      I tried and failed to write some parody lyrics. It proved impossible to shoehorn stuff in. The song has hardly any lyrics.

        I had a go at it…

        kirby-jammin

        Started with nine-eleven, yeah

        This little career of mine

        You got no time for the livin’

        Workin’ for a merc’s next dime

        kirby-jammin

        It seems to me

        I could live my life

        A lot better than I think I am

        I guess I could be a better me

        But I’m mercenary, man

        kirby-jammin

        They call me mercenary

        I guess that’s what I am

        kirby-jammin

        Kickin’ doors & punchin’ clocks

        For almost twenty long hard years

        Say I’m doing it for my fellow man

        But summit else is goin’ on here

        kirby-jammin

        It seems to me

        I could live my life

        A lot better than I think I am

        Seat that’s not in some humvee

        And a senate healthcare plan

        kirby-jammin

        Totenkopf is just customary

        For a mercenary man

        kirby-jammin

        And they call me mercenary

        So I guess that’s what I am

        kirby-jammin kirby-jammin kirby-jammin

        (I forgot how to format so just used Kirby’s)

          Nice.

          (I forgot how to format so just used Kirby’s)

          The only way I can format lyrics (and not lose my mind) is to write the lyrics in my text editor and use a macro to add the asterisks and the two spaces at the end. I select the text and end up with this…

          *And a senate healthcare plan*__

          I used “__” to show two spaces at the end.

        The song has hardly any lyrics.

        Due to that long ass instrumental break right in the middle of the song. That’s Rush for ya!

          I wish there were even fewer lyrics. Like this…

          [Verse 1]
          Well, I get up at seven, yeah
          And I go to work at nine
          I got no time for livin’
          Yes, I’m workin’ all the time

          [Chorus]
          It seems to me I could live my life
          A lot better than I think I am
          They call me the workin’ man
          I guess that’s what I am

          [Instrumental Break]

          [Guitar Solo]

          [Chorus]
          It seems to me I could live my life
          A lot better than I think I am
          They call me the workin’ man
          I guess that’s what I am

          [Outro]
