Marie-Lynn Hammond - Not Another Benefit lyrics
friends I have a problem that Id like to address and it may be peculiarly mine in these days of unemployment I am forced to confess yours trulys working overtime my phone is ringing madly they all want me oh so badly theres only one hitch I can see oh no! its a benefit, not another benefit and when are they gonna benefit me Ive played for day care, pro-choice, Greenpeace, world peace labour causes, unfair laws and Latin American solidarity Ive stopped Spadina*, failed to stop the Cruise, Ive saved the whales and wolves Ive tried to save the N.D.P.** now aint it kinda funny how were always raising money for the things in life that ought to be free oh no! its a benefit, not another benefit and when are they gonna benefit me the phone rings and a voice says hi we havent met, in fact I must admit Ive never heard of you at all but someone at a meeting said her sister said her lover said we really ought to give you a call our situations critical she says youre quite political and feminist and always play for free... oh no! its a benefit, not another benefit and when are they gonna benefit me and when the bankers finally get me cause I havent paid my debts be sure youre ready to call up Nancy White for me and shell say oh no its a benefit, not another benefit and when are they gonna benefit me (3) * an expressway planned for downtown Toronto ** The N.D.P. is sort-of left wing Canadian political party that usually vote for and rarely gets elected. |
