Song Lyrics:

Sparsely Paid, and Barely Part-time (Lyrics by Dale Leopold, melody Trad. Arr. By Martin Carthy, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel) Are you looking for jobs that pay Fair? Sparsely Paid, and Barely Part-time You’ve tried giving blood, and selling your hair These days those won’t earn you a dime Why not drive people around in your car? (Up on Capitol Hill, in a dark musty hall) Sparsely Paid, and Barely Part-time (Senators feeding like pigs at a trough) You’ll get uber-tired, but it won’t Lyft you far (Blanket the airwaves with self-serving bulls**t) The tips so low, it’s a crime (Robbing poor Peter to fatten Rich Paul) Best not to do like my dear cousin Betsy (At the President’s House, in a shiny new ballroom) Sparsely Paid, and Barely Part-time (Billionaires party and waltz through the night) She makes crappy tchotchkes and sells them on Etsy (They share a good laugh at the suckers that they’ve conned) Seems to me like a huge waste of time Starting an OnlyFans gives you exposure (They need a distraction to hide their corruption) Sparsely Paid, and Barely Part-time (Generals find some brown people to bomb) It might be enough just to stop the foreclosure (And to lie to the folks that they've long ago forgotten) Self-made porn could be your life-line Are you looking for jobs that pay Fair? Sparsely Paid, and Barely Part-time You’ve tried giving blood, and selling your hair These days those won’t earn you a dime (Captain Wayne)
