[Verse 1]
You won't believe this
Unfortunate as it may have become
I know you're never gonna read this
I know they never sent my letters out
Oh but anyway
They got me working on a staircase
Poor little Joe with his walrus face
He's the only one I really talk to now
Who are we working for?
I should have signed up for Americorps
So many hungry children
We could have saved the whole world by now

[Chorus]
Oh friends, I'm gonna be honest with you now
I am weary of our noble mission
There's a few of us that feel
We've been led to an empty house
There are some of us who know the roof is leaking

[Verse 2]
Who are we working for?
They snake around just like a garden hose
They fox us in somebody else's clothes
Give us a little book of promises
I want out of this
I want the things that I used to fight
I miss my money and I miss my life
My empty bed in Chicago
