Things Are So Slow

I went to work this morning all set to start
The boss walked up to me and said something that really broke my heart
He said, "Things are so slow. We just don't need you anymore"
He said, "Things are so slow. We just don't need you anymore"

I went home and told my man, he didn't fuss
But then the finance took the car and we had to start riding the bus
We're walking so slow, we won't be riding anymore
We're moving so slow, we won't be riding anymore

There's just one thing about it that really blows my mind
The boss still sells what I made last week and I can't even sell my time
Things are so slow, they don't need us anymore
Things are so slow, we just can't make it anymore

I told the president we need more jobs in this nation
You know what that fool said, unemployment stops inflation
The man is so slow I don't think we need him anymore
(Can't seem to get his water gate shut)
The man is so slow I don't think we need him anymore

We got to get our friends together, talk the whole thing out
Make a little plan for shaking up the town
Things are so slow, we just can't make it anymore
Things are so slow, we just can't take it...might have to break it...don't try to fake it...we just can't make it anymore!
