Here is a song that I wrote about NOT working actually-this was not intended to start a writer's strike, nor should anyone conceive of the idea, please. As with most of my work,b this song was written with Alanis Morissette's musical team and vocal sdtyle in mind:

Work Will Now Cease (The Strike; The Strike)

Now that you've dredged up a little more an-ger

Now that you've c om-pro-mised my inner peace

Now that I'm standing on firmer foundations

I'm going to tell you how it's gonna be.

I will not push past tireless exhaustion

And pennies, my friend, is like working for free

The benefits offered beyond comprehension

And I have no friends that would rather be me.

So, now that you've dredged up a little more anger

And now that you've compromised my inner-peace

Now that I'm standing on firmer foundations

Friend, I must tell you, my work will now cease.

The strike-only answer

The strike-my decision

The strike-fine with me.

It seems there are strikes

No more answers

Strikes

Upheld decisions

The strike

Fine with me.

And now, kind listeners

Work will cease

The strike

The strike

Is fine with me.

This is as far as I got with this one and for those of you out there who have had a chance to listen to Alanis's Flavors of Entanglement, it mightt appear similar to something like Moratorium to you-but the melody and structure of the song is planned out quite differently, does not center on the same type of relationships to me and AGAIN should not incite enough frustration in the working writers out there to contemplate and/or initiate a Writer's Strike, please.
