The Lyrics
It doesn't matter how you get paid, the company always wins.
Salary
It’s that or hourly
There’s a type of job
Where you are on the clock
If you take a little break you
Find your pay is docked
Because you’re hourly
They pay it sourly
Then the day comes you get promoted
You have made the grade
Then you find your overtime
Is never ever paid
They call it salary
It’s pretty foul you see
Hourly
It’s almost slavery
And then there’s salary
It’s paycheck robbery
It’s that or hourly
There’s a type of job
Where you are on the clock
If you take a little break you
Find your pay is docked
Because you’re hourly
They pay it sourly
Then the day comes you get promoted
You have made the grade
Then you find your overtime
Is never ever paid
They call it salary
It’s pretty foul you see
Hourly
It’s almost slavery
And then there’s salary
It’s paycheck robbery
