Minimum Wage Lyrics

Politically correct and mentally erect
I'm doing everything I can to conserve the best
But life ain't nothin but a bowl a grits and this United States proud crap makes me sick
People tell me go make a name for yourself cause that's the only way you're gonna get outta this hell
I'm gonna try and try and try and do all that I can but
I'll never understand it's guaranteed
I'm making minimum wage
I can't survive this day and age, Home of the free Land of the brave, it's guaranteed
I'm making minimum wage
I'll take a work strike over a tax hike any day of the year and
I don't care about anything as long as those striking ain't bottling beer
Give me a gun let's go get the XXX he wouldn't mind he's protected by the aliens
I've got a green man in my backyard
This time the goverment has gone too far

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

it's just a little deeper than "being a teenager". if they wanted to make it like that, they probably would have mentioned girls or cars or something. this one is saying that minimum wage is far too little to live on these days, and that the government could give less than a shit about it.
