A Ward Of The State

He said that he was a nervous wreck
And because of that he draws a check
Although people said his disability, it was suspect

Think about it and you'll understand
You too could be just like this man
You won't have to work even if you can

You won't need a job in a factory or to be a clerk
Or something awful like a soda jerk
Draw a government check and forget about work

Draw a check and you can do as you please
You can have a living and a life of ease
And there's really no one you will have to please

If you can't find a job that you like to do
You don't need to be sad, you don't need to be blue
A government check may be the answer for you

No longer will you have to pull your weight
If you need a lawyer, don't hesitate
Yes, your life can be easy, be a ward of the state!
