He's got a job and a family; how does he do it?
Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking
He's got all the answers that I wanna know
How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago?
Gee whiz, he got it and he flaunts
I am the thing he is, but he is it when I want
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
And some people are white guys in 1985

Amazing song like pretty much everything else in that set.

I don't wanna pay for anything
Clothes and food and drugs for free
If it was 1970
I'd have a job at a factory
I am a man that's made of meat
And you're on the internet looking at feet
I hate almost everything that I see
And I just wanna disappear

I recommend anyone nostalgic for the factory jobs of the 1970s to watch the movie "Blue Collar".

The frustrating thing about nostalgia is that it's got you pining for the rotten deals of yesteryear instead of organizing for a less-shitty sandwich next year.
