Song Parodies -> My Wage

Original Song Title:	"My Wave"
Original Performer:	Soundgarden

Parody Song Title:	"My Wage"
Parody Written by:	MrMacphisto

Hey, we've all got a price
And sometimes a lease
But we're losing rights

Beg, 'cause they like the sound
And it moves you up
While the others drown

Fair, if your work is cheap
But they set the fee
And it makes us seethe

They come over here
Piss on our fate
Shaving off dollars from our wage

Yeah... oh..

Buy, but you can't deny
That it sates their greed
While they feed us lies

Bate, for the ones who hate
While employers chafe
When we call them slaves

Pray we won't go astray
From our own ideals
Companies betray

They come over here
Piss on our fate
Shaving off dollars from our wage

Keep it off my wage
Cutting down my wage
My wage

Keep it off my wage
cutting down my wage
Killing off my wage
My wage

[5x]
My wage

Try to just stem the tide
Of these refugees
As they risk their lives

State terms of the debate
'Cause it's time to strafe
All those hiring slaves

They indulged in a vice
But soon face police
And a legal fight

They come over here
Piss on our fate
Shaving off dollars from our wage

Keep it off my wage
Cutting down my wage
My wage

Keep it off my wage
cutting down my wage
Killing off my wage
My wage

[9x]
My wage

[more adlibbing involving "my wage" until song fades out]

I found the YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly7NMFw1wFA

I had forgotten all about the song, I have heard it before. Lyrics aren't LOL funny, but they match the OS to a tee. Would you work for $5.55 a vote? =)
