Jack of All Trades Lyrics by The Stanfields

Death & Taxes

2012

I'm a Jack of all trades and a bastard son
A burnt out slave and a master of none
A cog on a wheel in a dog and pony show
But if I won the lottery I'd be taken seriously
With the keys to the kingdom and a stock portfolio
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
The master makes the rules
And the master plays the fools
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
Silent harmony
Look at the Jones, they ain't sad at all
They love the wage, they hate us all
They dance to the rhythm of a dark and distant drone
I can't keep up with the Jones no more
I can't make rent when I had it before
Now a big wolf is at the door
Looking for blood from a stone
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
The master makes the rules
And the master plays the fools
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
Silent harmony
Should I grow old before I die
Just another John Doe in debt to his eyes
Choking on the barrel of a gun run down my throat
Held by the master's invisible hands
"More, more, more!" the master commands
"Call in the lawyers, piss on the ants," I quote. No joke
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
The master makes the rules
And the master plays the fools
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
Silent harmony
