If a real working class party includes these people I’d rather watch the world burn in hellfire

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...
Started with nine-eleven, yeah
This little career of mine
You got no time for the livin'
Workin' for a merc's next dime
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
They call me mercenary
I guess that's what I am
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
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
Totenkopf is just customary
For a mercenary man
And they call me mercenary
So I guess that's what I am
(I forgot how to format so just used Kirby's)
Nice.
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.
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]
