Lyrics for This Ain’t No Picnic as interpreted by shadowwiththeeyes

This Ain’t No Picnic Lyrics
Working on the edge, losing my self-respect for a man who presides over me, the principles of his creed. Punch in punch out 8 hours 5 days a week, sweat, pain and agony – on Friday I’ll get paid.

This ain't no picnic.

Hey mister don't look down on me for what I believe – I got my bills and the rent. I should go pitch a tent but our land isn't free, so I’ll work my youth away in the place of a machine. I refuse to be a slave

This ain't no picnic.

This song is about racism. Apparently, It's about a bigotted boss D. Boon once had.

i love the urgency of this song, and pretty much all of double nickels. d. boon just spits out the lyrics as fast as he can, it's tremendous.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "this song is about racism". Of course, it comments on it twice - "I should go pitch a tent but our land isn't free" and "I refuse to be a slave" both show up in the last verse. More so this song is about the American "machine", as he puts it, and how it isn't much of a picnic anymore - for anyone.

d. boon worked at an autoparts store. he wanted to play jazz on the radio but the bigotted boss dismissed it as "nigger shit" and told him to turn it off. he wanted to quit but desperately needed the money, and vented out through this song.
