lyrics

2238 is the number that i hate.
It reminds me how much Hudson County Offices don't care.
Now I have to keep my phone on, and the work it just don't pay.
And the minutes on my Cell phone just keep idling away.

Cause I call, it keeps on ringing, and I call, no ones there!

The card says families first, but I just don't feel that way
When the oasis of urban deserts never lends a hand.
Now I have to keep my lights on, and a roof above my head.
but I'm feeling like a mongrel begging for a scrap of bread.

And I call, it keeps on ringing. And I call, no ones there.

In truth, I am blessed, cause "Yo si hablo ingles!"
In a system where latinos make up 41%
The tidal wave is growing, and the wages they are small.
From Zapatas revolution we learned the Meek become the strong.
So when you're stressed from your job at the Hudson County System
Take a minute to remember just how fortunate you are
When we stand before you, please remember to be kind.
And see yourself in all those who are asking for your time.

Pick up that phone when it rings, Theres a person on the other end, trying to make a change.
Pick up that phone and make a call.
Lend a hand to all, cause one day you might take the fall.

2238
