about

Featuring Jen Overstreet on Violin

lyrics

I went down to the Local Do-Gooders Society
I submitted my resume
I said I want to help people, I want to do what I can,
I want to make a difference in this day and age
They said we’re happy to have you, there’s a terrible need,
Many boot-straps to pull up on, yes many mouths to feed.

We need young bright professionals, to sit at computers
And send e-mails, literally thousands of e-mails
To community stakeholders, who tell us we’re great,
Our impact studies show, this is our most impactful year-to-date
Your skills with the microsoft office productivity suite
Are an asset in the modern war on poverty.
You know Jay, I really think you’re going to ‘excel’ here.

We have generous funders, who enjoy our fundraisers,
Deliverables laid out in a stunning display
We’re a mission-driven organization, with unwavering dedication
To do whatever our generous funders say,
And oh yeah, it pays $85k
I thought “Hell, it beats getting high every day.”
