Universal Welfare Line
© 2008 words and music by Brian S. Cram

Payin' dues is a game for fools
When I can get away with playin' my own rules
The best in life is mine for free
The universe will hand out what it owes to me
It's gonna be so fine
Standin' in the sunshine
In the universal welfare line

Count on you to give me mine
'cause waitin' 'round for my settlements takes up all my time
Well, I ain't flakey, no lazy slob
'cause suckin' blood from the universe is a full time job
It's gonna be so fine
Standin' in the sunshine
In the universal welfare line

(solos)

Accusin' glances cause me no distress
'cause what you think of me is none of my business
For who I am I owe no apology
But I wonder why none of my dearest friends will talk to me
It's gonna be so fine
Standin' in the sunshine
In the universal welfare line
It's gonna be so fine
Standin' in the sunshine
In the universal welfare line
