Lee sings on a song called “Productivity” that questions the mundane, strenuous and outright cutthroat activities in which humans are forced to partake just to keep food on the table. As Lee is also a nurse by day, he witnesses the horrific issues with class constantly as it relates to healthcare and the pandemic has only exaggerated the need for long lasting, structural change.
lyrics
Productivity
Verse
You may be a carpenter by trade,
Loyalist by unbearable fate,
As your antagonist I'll take more than I need, the mahogany and the seed,
Productivity,
Imperial to metric and back again,
Just might love enough to break even,
Nobody care what tomorrow may bring as long as them slot machine levers still swing,
Chorus
Do you ever see me in you, like I see you in in me, when we push through the ones we love as if they were parlor game pieces to sling across the room,
Never outgrew that holy drunken quest for pleasure,
Productivity, my only friend,
Verse
Quite equipped to be content,
Fit to be adrift,
I'm the judge, jury and guilty party
As we fade into uncomfortable normality,
Productivity,
Self proclaimed, self made man,
Sells bookend desires, unbridled convenience,
These classless fools will never see the war til it's knocking down their own front door.
Do you ever see me in you, like I see you in in me, when we push through the ones we love as if they were parlor game pieces to sling across the room,
Never outgrew our holy drunken quest for pleasure,
Productivity, until the end….
