about

I love this song as so many others but I still don't feel sure about the Girl - I would prefer Woman, but that does not roll, there is no rhythm. I even thought about giving her a name, but that would destroy the perspective. So Girl it is. And since 1992 I am a strong universal basic income advocat (I even put it as a fact in one of my novels), so hopefully one day I will write The Basic Income Girl.

lyrics

Minimum wage girl


You wear your summer shoes in winter
You say the other boots are wet
You swear on green onions
on whole wheat bread

And you're my love
The only one I can think of
But I'm too shy

The dreams you dream
You can't call dreams anymore
They are silent film stars
Caught in a revolving door

You go to work every morning
And in the night too
Three minimum-wage jobs
And no career for you

You get too little sleep
And too much shit from your boss
He is complaining about your earrings
And about his hair loss

You're invisible in the streets
And on the local bus
Just the greasy spoon waitress
Refills your coffee without a fuss

You wear your summer shoes in winter
You say your other boots are wet
And you swear on green onions
On whole wheat bread
