The Porch Pirate Song (tune: Rosin the Bow/Acres of Clams) I don't fly the old Jolly Roger I don’t sail the blue bounding sea I’m cruising the streets of your suburb And living off porch piracy CHORUS: (last two lines) I’m living off porch piracy, my friends I’m living off porch piracy I’m cruising the streets of your suburb And living off porch piracy I look for a house that is empty And snatch up whatever they’ve got I sell it for cents on the dollar For such is the porch pirate's lot CHORUS I once had a job in a bookstore I was solvent and young and carefree But Amazon stole all their business And they had to let go of me CHORUS I worked an Amazon warehouse A nightmare in every way They make you a slave to their robots And offer you pittance for pay CHORUS Picking and packing like madmen You can’t stop to pee or to eat And if you dare mention a union They’ll throw you right out on the street CHORUS So now I'm an outlaw and pirate for taking the things that you've bought but robbing small business and workers, the billionaires never get caught CHORUS I’m not asking you for your pity Of course I know stealing is wrong But save some of your scorn for Jeff Bezos And join in my porch pirate song CHORUS Russell Aminzade Creative Commons License CC BY-SA (OK to sing, copy, share, and modify with attribution) |
