‘I’m at the wheel of the company truck/On the road and all alone/Sometimes I think money is my only goal/it makes me sad/Work on up another four miles/Coffee, fries, and a cheeseburger’
Not the best track off Gang of Four’s second full-length Solid Gold, but it has its charms, and is the right song for today. Why? Friday night beers led to A&W Teen Burgers for two that somehow took 20 minutes from order to slaughter. All because a guy buying grub for a nearby film crew made like, 10 trips out the door carrying boxes of burgers, onion rings and other fine foods. So I had to ask the A&W staff: a $1,300 food order and no tip. As Gang of Four might say, capitalism sucks.
