Welcome to the Occupation Lyrics

Cover art for Welcome to the Occupation lyrics by Cold War Kids

this was loosely about a story the nathan heard. a teacher was teaching his subject and a student, clearly infuriated by his teaching, stood up and said, "I Don't have to listen to you, my Dad earns 5 x more than you!" and carried on. that teacher than quit his job days later. Also... Nathan Winlett was a substitute teacher before cold war began. so i guess it took a meaning on him.

Yeah, I read about that in an interview. I hope that kid either wakes up, or else goes broke trying to buy happiness with daddy's money.
