Something Better from Rideau Roots by Kate Weekes

I let go for something better
Quit my job at the factory
I won’t work ‘cause the moneys not gonna
Trickle it’s way down to me

Rode the bus ‘til it stopped comin’
Can’t afford the railway fee
Drove my car ‘til it stopped runnin’
Ran away from the factory

And when the sun goes down
On my hometown
We’ll be in so deep
We’ll be losing money while we sleep
(Cause the rich get richer while we sleep)

Lost my house to renoviction
Marked it up air b n b
Folk are movin’ from the city
Can’t afford that rental fee

I work hard on nights and weekends
Serve you on your holiday
Pay my rent and pay my bills
Still in debt cause the job don’t pay
