not another benefit - marie-lynn hammond lyrics

friends i have a problem that i’d like to address
and it may be peculiarly mine
in these days of unemployment i am forced to confess
yours truly’s working overtime
my phone is ringing madly
they all want me oh so badly
there’s only one hitch i can see
oh no! it’s a benefit, not another benefit
and when are they gonna benefit me

i’ve played for day care, pro*choice, greenpeace, world peace
labour causes, unfair laws and latin american solidarity
i’ve stopped spadina, failed to stop the cruise
i’ve saved the whales and wolves
i’ve tried to save the ndp
now ain’t it kinda funny
how we’re always raising money
for the things in life that ought to be free
oh no!
it’s a benefit, not another benefit
and when are they gonna benefit me

the phone rings and a voice says “hi we haven’t met, in fact
i must admit i’ve never heard of you at all
but someone at a meeting said her sister said her lover said
we really ought to give you a call
our situation’s critical
she says you’re quite political
and feminist and always play for free…”
oh no! it’s a benefit, not another benefit
and when are they gonna benefit me
and when the bankers finally get me
’cause i haven’t paid my debts be
sure you’re ready to call up nancy white for me
and she’ll say
oh no it’s a benefit, not another benefit
and when are they gonna benefit me
and when are they gonna benefit me
and when are they gonna benefit me
