Pisses Me Off

I don't know if this song should be called "Pisses Me Off" or "Gold Bars." All I know is that when I wrote the song, I was too pissed to even give it a description. But here it is. This song is about how country singers and singers in general are going around singing about how hard life is, how hard work is, when they're making over $46k a song plus tour. They're making money from concerts. They're sitting here singing about our daily lives when they're rich and can go anywhere, do anything, and not have to worry about debt like we do or bills like we do. Their financial advisors take care of all that for them out of the money they make from their music. While they're driving around in sports cars fully paid off, we are financing our cars. While they're living in mansions fully paid off, we are financing our homes. We work every day, sometimes overtime, just to make a little extra, just so we can have a little money left after bills are paid.

I'd love to see them drive for 11 hours straight, strap down loads, do log books just so DOT doesn't shut them down, work on a car, mow grass, stock shelves as a retail worker, work in factories, drive a train, be a cop or first responder, serve their country in the military, drive a forklift, work construction, or herd cattle on a farm. Because I guarantee you, if they did, they would pray to God to give them their rich lives back. These are jobs that people like us do. They have no clue how hard life is. They just hear it from us. That's it. They won't know till they live it themselves.

Plus, we have a president who's off in rainbow land or somewhere, but here, everything keeps rising, so it's making it even harder to survive and pay shit back. When they were young, before they became rich, they worked, but it was nowhere near as bad as it is today. Back then, food was cheap. Hell, people were leaving stores with carts of food. Now look at us today. We're leaving with half carts full. Two hundred bucks used to fill carts full of food. Now it takes almost a thousand just to barely fill it.
