I imagine it might be difficult or disheartening to spend a career in public service only to have a narcissist despot end up being your boss. The Crime is a grateful prayer to our government employees. I’m asking them to give no quarter to tyrants.
lyrics
God bless the bureaucrats
The suits one step back
From the arc of the spotlight’s powerful sweep
God act like rebar
And steel the taupe backbones
Of career bureaucrats; nourish them please.
God put kind people
In the paths of the bureaucrats -
A free cup of coffee when they least expect.
God grace the brains
Of our careful, brave bureaucrats
Keeping the wheels greased behind these rich idiots.
God grant mischievous
Hearts to the bureaucrats.
Make their hands quick like good tableside magic.
Give a good poker face
To our honest bureaucrats.
Help them lie straight in the eyes of The Boss.
A shining brass guillotine
Sits in the breakroom
A post-it note reads: prototype office chair.
The clever last bureaucrat
Remarks to The Boss,
“Yeah, it also reclines just pull that lever there.”
Another of our fave hymns that we like to sing at our gatherings.Mr Taylor never fails to deliver, Jesus shot me in the Head indeed.Walk into the light. drbaz
The latest from Jim Lauderdale is exclusive to Bandcamp, its songs drawing on bluegrass, country, and classic American music. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2020
This is a very strong sophomore record - No sophomore slump here. This shows Gudasz' growth as a songwriter. She's branching out in different directions musically with some very cool production work. Some of the songs are even better than those from Oleander, her debut LP. While some of those sounds/textures are still present here, this record has some more challenging (and rewarding) results. For fans of Leonard Cohen, Sharon Van Etten, Aimee Mann and Joni Mitchell. travm0
