Boss Man Blues

What you mean baby coming around here

Working your fingers to the bone?

You might as well stay home; open up that beer

Put out your best to get stoned

‘Cause it’s the strangest thing lately

No one’s minding the store

And the boss man he don’t care no more

 

He don’t care no more

He don’t care no more

It’s the strangest thing lately

No one’s minding the store

And the boss man he don’t care no more

 

Lately he’s been worried; got a lot on his mind

The boss man he’s been in better health

He got that payroll to meet; got that money to collect

But the cash it ain’t flowing his way

Though the IRS is at his neck

Like a vampire after blood

The boss man he don’t care no more

 

He don’t care no more

He don’t care no more

Though the IRS is at his neck

Like a vampire after blood

The boss man he don’t care no more

 

Take pride in your country; take pride in your home

Take pride in everything that you do

For all that you sow will come back unto you

That’s what my momma done told me

But don’t take pride in that boss man

He’ll stick it to you

‘ Cause the boss man he don’t care no more

 

He don’t care no more

He don’t care no more

Don’t take pride in that boss man

Or he’ll stick it to you

‘Cause the boss man he don’t care no more

 

 

Thomas Hubbard  (1989)
