WE ARE THE DEAD ONES (Essentiality) on 9/6/2020 by Gregory Esparza

I wrote this song WE ARE THE DEAD ONES a few years back, and like many creative endeavors the sparks of creativity come and go... But its Labor Day weekend and just as I was readying the sink to do the dishes... Yes my friends, domestic labor is labor, and I do my share... Well, the idea of labor and the melody to my song came to me... But, I couldn't find the original lyrics expand upon, so I opened a new document to jam it out... Here is WE ARE THE DEAD ONES (Essentiality) dedicated to all the essential workers taking the risks and keeping this nation functioning on as close to normal as can possibly be.

We are the dead ones (whoo ooh)

But we’ve never been more alive

We are the dead ones’s (whoo ooh)

Every day is a day to survive

We live

we work

we give we die

We love and spill our blood in life

We do the job

We take the risk

We do it for more than just ourselves

Again, and again and again

We are the dead ones (whoo ohh)

We are the army of labor

We are the good ones (whoo ohh)

We can hardly say no to a job

We live

We work

We give we die

We love and spill our blood in life

We are essential

That’s a fact

We do the job

We take the risk

Again, and again and again

And we do it for you

And we do it for us

Cheap labor (ooh ooh) - Expendability

Hard labor (ooh ooh) - Exploitability

Necessary labor (Mmm mmm) - Essentiality

Good labor (ooh ooh) - For all of humanity

Is done by you and by me (x2)
