From the recording Hard Times In The Warehouse
Amidst soaring inflation, workers everywhere struggle to pay rent, put food on the table & buy Christmas gifts for their loved ones. Meanwhile billionaire Jeff Bezos & Amazon shareholders rake in record profits. As Teamsters Union Amazon workers across the nation go on strike & call out this injustice, Jonny Miller Jr sings his song of solidarity in the tradition of classic Americana labor Folk ballads like those of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger. Part of his ongoing grant-funded art project, IE SONGS, Jonny relates the struggle of warehouse workers in his region to workers everywhere, joining them on the picket line in this live track.

Lyrics
I worked in the warehouse, busted my back.
I ain't got nothing but a crooked neck.
It's a hard times, in the warehouse,
Hard times everywhere
(Chorus:)
It's a hard times, in the warehouse,
A hard times, in the warehouse,
Hard times, in the warehouse,
Hard times everywhere.
Back in 2015 we heard it said,
"Move to Southern Cali and get ahead."…(Chorus)
I’m stuck inside all day long.
The smog outside will kill my lungs…(Chorus)
The money they pay is such a joke
Worked so hard I had a heat stroke…(Chorus)
It's a long, long drive from Hesperia,
Elsinore, and Perris, and Fontana…(Chorus)
When I die, don't you bury my bones.
Ship me in a box to Jeff Bezos…(Chorus)
