Hey everyone :D

NO MINIMUM WAGE JOB
hey you whutcha gonna do
you say there ain't no work for you
NO MINIMUM WAGE JOB WILL DO
sleepin in the park
no roof for you

the ground will do
NO MINIMUM WAGE JOB FOR YOU
you put out your hand to the workin man
can you spare some changes
he says your back is strong
were did you go wrong
that's the path you choose
NO MINIMUM WAGE JOB FOR YOU

helpers wanted, work galore
you got no ambition
you say your in transition
that job will never do
NO MINIMUM WAGE JOB FOR YOU
NO MINIMUM WAGE JOB WILL DO..........

It's a bit difficult to put a rhythm to this...
Two lines, title...four lines, title...five lines, title, five lines, title repeated twice....
If you can give us some sense of the structure, maybe it'd be a little easier to read....I can see where you're coming from with this, just can't fit it to a coherent rhythm...

reads a lot better now...to me anyway....originally your song looked to me like "right, I've got something to say, and I'm darn well going to say it loud....." - pouring out your frustrations onto paper, in a sort of stream-of-consciousness fashion....
Now it's a lot more focussed (that's the third time in the last couple of reviews I've used that word, but it seems to fit...) and a lot easier on the eye...
I can see the first two short verses sung (shouted!!!) over just a loud drumbeat, then loud guitar coming in for "You put out your hand to the working man".....
I like your point of view, and I like the way you put your point of view across....

thnx vic :D
i also think it reads much ! better still room for improvment but i like the way it's heading
mystic
i liked this a lot, i like the repeat of the title at the end of each verse/chorus. It read like an anthem kind of song if that makes any sense!
Hi mystic,
This is an interesting slant on the poverty theme. I think the rewrite is much better. For me what you have here is good in terms of painting the picture for us, I feel it could be improved even more by adding some stuff about, either why he or she doesn't want to work for the minimum wage or from the narrators perspective as to how society views our characters stand. Some black & white statement that makes me want to yell out “Yeah†or “Nahâ€. As it is though the song is still valid, good work :D .
pb
thnx for your input and i will keep workin on this one i kinda like and may have some potential (my husband even liked it) lololol......
thnx mystic
