Boss Makes a Dollar, I Make a Dime (1962)(Motown)

Recorded in the legendary Hitsville USA studio, "Boss Makes a Dollar, I Make a Dime" captures the essence of Motown's golden era. The song showcases the raw energy and soulful melodies that defined the Detroit sound. With its rebellious lyrics, it became an anthem for workers everywhere. A generational protest song about taking a shit on company time.
LYRICS:
boss makes a dollar, I make a dime
that's why I shit on company time,
boss makes plenty, doesn't pay much
thats why I don't do a courtesy flush
he gave me a penny, while he made a buck
so I'm cranking my hog on the company truck
Boss makes a thousand, gives me a cent,
Wife's doing onlyfans just to pay the rent.
The break room's a mess, the vending machine's broke,
I tell the boss to shove it, ain't no joke,
Meetin's at nine, but I'm runnin' late,
Cuz I'm takin' a shit, feelin' great.
boss made a grand, he gave me a buck
so I scroll on my phone, not giving a fuck
boss makes a fortune, I don't make shit
One more week of this and I'll quit
boss paid me half, he promised way more
that's why I shit on the company floor
I made a dime, boy and he made a buck
so I stole the catalytic converter from under his truck
boss makes a dollar, I make a dime
that's why I shit on company time,
boss makes plenty, doesn't pay much
thats why I don't do a courtesy flush
I clock in at nine, but I'm draggin' my feet,
Dreamin' of a raise that I'll never meet
The printer's jammed, and the coffee's cold,
Boss got a bonus, or so I'm told.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,
That's why I shit on company time.

    They were also ahead of their time stealing the catalytic converter (they were invented in 1973)

    Einstein, "boss" also has other employees, their healthcare, their family's healthcare, their workers' insurance, (and also stupid crap like DEI) for which to pay. Then there's the whole reason why "boss" has a business in the first place: which is to provide a product the local community might like to have -- the prices (and therefore the profits) of which are based set on the demand of the patrons: if the patrons don't like the product or the price is too high..."boss" is out of business. "Boss" also re-invests profits to improve the overall infrastructure, which includes the well-being of the employees from a business standpoint. If you are incapable of understanding and/or wish to stay critical of these basic concepts of running a successful business, then I personally encouraged you to relocate to a wonderful place like Russia or North Korea where you can work for a "non-American "boss". As for the tune --- I'm sure Barry wasn't that amused! (I've heard Earl Van Dyke on the Ike Quebec Blue Note sessions, which are more jazz influenced; however, you can hear his chops are in pop music.)

    ​​@@pacz8114 DEI? Most companies don't do that and you don't pay for it. And most major corporations take excessive amounts of the laborers surplus value, it's certainly more than half of the profit those workers create. For the most part it's a scam for the owners to get rich off of the labor of others.

    ​@@whatabouttheearth ALL larger-scale retailers in the US throw money at DEI. They all make a big stink about it as well…as they are compelled to do so it because if they don't there'll be millions of left-leaning socialmedia soldiers who will promptly accuse them of being "racist" and "homophobic" simply by not heeding the social media "mandate". There has been an increase in the gap between corporate profit and personal income -- particularly since the internet age and this can be attributed to three unarguable issues: (1) the internet is a "newly" created sector and with it comes the typical "American Wild West" (i.e. no holds barred) mentality that always accompanies exploration and development of a new frontier; (2) the internet is also responsible for a great amount of discretionary expenditures (e.g., on-line mass-media subscriptions, video games, gaming, international goods and services, etc.) the likes the world has not seen to date; (3) many of the driving post-2000 companies are from former 3rd-world countries who clearly pay wages which are substantially inferior to Western countries.
