It Just Don’t Pay
©2023 David MacNeill & Don Hawkins

We need current indie-sounding folk songs without delay
The vocals and the hook must be as strong in a retro-flavored way
The pipeline must be served, though Tom Joad's ghost will be unnerved
This guitar might kill fascists, but it just don't pay

The customer is always right, at least that's what they say
If the screener is grinning you're more than half of the way
The pipeline must be saved, though Woody Guthrie is spinning in his grave
This guitar might kill fascists, but it just don't pay

Careful now read the pitch
Or you'll just dig yourself a deeper ditch

Now the music supervisor wants Prince but the producer won't pay
So he wants you to submit something close, but not too close, ok?
The pipeline must be supplied, though John Lennon's ghost is wailing outside
This guitar might kill fascists, but it just don't pay

That's the way the sausage is made, if you don't like it then just look away
This guitar might kill fascists, but it just don't pay
