The phrasing of the lyrics is AWFUL. The words are painfully manipulated to (somewhat) rhyme... no flow at all.

Somebody wasn’t paying attention in Music 101 class.

Oh, and the message is pretty FUnnie, too.

Ye come here, gather ‘round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who’ve trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage


I write music as a second job. Although that is not my day job, as the owner of a music hall I am around a lot of songwriters.

When I read the lyrics above, it seemed to have the same lyrical phrasing as, say, a jumping bean on crack.

I didn’t want to give the video a hit, so I will take your word for it.

And the lyrics? The very first phrase is “Ye come here”? Please.

Last line in first verse is “To steal from us the value of our wage”? Yeah I’m like really hooked from then on.

I could have written something better in 10 minutes with Rhymezone.
