Legal Thrillers

from The Pause by Pursesnatchers

/

about

Written and recorded May 6-9, 2020. Me imagining David Berman rewriting 'Paperback Writer.' As of this record's release, I still have not gotten on the dole, despite roughly 500 calls to the NY Department of Labor.

lyrics

When I got fired
I was inspired
Finally some time to write my masterpiece

But I can’t find the passion
My browser keeps crashing
I’ve been trying to get on the dole for six damn weeks

Maybe I should write legal thrillers
A penny a word, a penny a word
My hero will always find the killer
everyone gets what they deserve

I’ll option the screen rights
For points on the back side
I’ll rent a Hollywood bungalow

Corrupt politicians
A young Matt Damon
Hunts for the files alone

I guess I should write legal thrillers
Penny a word a penny a word
My hero will always find the killer
And justice is always served

Time passes quickly
The last drops of whiskey
Are about to go down my throat

There is no due process
The system is heartless
I’ve spent six damn weeks trying to get on the dole

Yeah I should write legal thrillers
Penny a word a penny a word
The heroes will always find the killers
Everyone gets what they deserve
