Workfare Wednesday: Still no pay at the YMCA

Article: http://www.boycottworkfare.org/?p=2428

so i changed an old song a bit:

-------------

Young folks, when you’re stuck in a hole
I said, young folks, you can find a new role
I said, young folks, when you’re broke on the dole
There’s no need to be unhappy.

Young folks, there’s a place you can go.
I said, young folks, you won’t get any dough
You’ll be sanctioned, if you choose to decline
To get nothing for your own time

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

You’ll be forced to do work, and you’ll have to behave
You’ll be happy there as our slave

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

You’ll be royally screwed, cause you cannot refuse
You’ll be singing the Workfare Blues

Young folks, are you listening to me?
I said, young folks, what do you want to be?
I said, young folks, you can’t follow your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!

No one does it all by himself.
I said, young folks, put your pride on the shelf,
We’ll exploit you, and you won’t get a job
Now get working and shut your gob!

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

You’ll do menial tasks for Duncan Smith to enjoy,
They’ll take men and treat them as boys

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
