Bound by the Paperwork

SONG DEMO: “Follows you around. Hardly makes a sound. Until you’ve been found by the paperwork.”

I am so very tired of having to -

sign this and sign that,

certify this and certify that,

present this and present that,

file this and file that,

register this and register that,

license this and license that,

document this and document that,

declare this and declare that,

justify this and justify that,

authorize this and authorize that,

verify this and verify that,

codify this and codify that,

prove this and prove that.

I just want to be free of all the paperwork.

I just want to be left alone.

I. JUST. WANT. TO. BE. LEFT. ALONE!

I wrote this song in 1996 and I still can’t escape the oppression, the terror, the unrelenting pursuit, the incarceration and the tyranny of paperwork.

“Follows you around. Hardly makes a sound. Until you’ve been bound by the paperwork.”
