Ain’t workin’ today
The kids’ll just have to make due
They shut the government down
And I’m gonna shut down too

We’re all in this together
We the people
That’s me and you
So, when they shut the government down
I’m gonna shut down too

I’m punching out
I’m knocking off
I’m staying in bed til maybe I’m ready to crack me a beer
I’ll slow my pace
Cancel my race
Even though I have not been employed for a couple of years

The word just came from on high
The plane spelled it out in the sky
They shut the government, it’s true
And I’m gonna shut down too
They shut the government, it’s true
And I’m gonna shut down too

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
