Probably the harshest attack on the trades, and more, I've ever heard was from Frank Zappa. If you read this, you will be offended, so be forewarned:
FLAKES
Frank Zappa
They don't do no good
They never be workin
When they oughta should
They waste your time
They're wastin mine
Californias got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them
Swear tgod they got the most
At every business on the coast
Swear tgod they got the most
At every business on the coast
They got the flakes
Flakes! flakes!
They can't fix yer brakes
You ask em, wheres my motor?
Well, it was eaten by snakes...
You can stab n shoot n spit
But they wont be fixin it
They're lyin an lazy
They can be drivin you crazy
Swear tgod they got the most
At every business on the coast
Swear tgod they got the most
At every business on the coast
Take it away, bob...
(in Bob Dylan voice...)
I asked as nice as I could
If my job would
Somehow be finished by friday
Well, them whole damn weekend
Came n went, frankie
N they didn't do nothin
But they charged me double for sunday
You know, no matter what you do,
They gonna cheat n rob you
Then they'll send you a bill
Thatll get your senses reelin
And if you do not pay
They got computer collectors
Thatll get you so crazy
Til your headll go through th ceilin
Yes it will!
(end Bob Dylan voice)
Im a moron, n this is my wife
Shes frosting a cake
With a paper knife
All what we got here's
American made
Its a little bit cheesey,
But it's nicely displayed
Well we don't get excited when it
Crumbles n breaks
We just get on the phone
And call up some flakes
They rush on over
N wreck it some more
N we are so dumb
They're linin up at our door
Well, the toilet went crazy
Yersterday afternoon
The plumber he says
Never flush a tampoon!
This great information
Cost me half a weeks pay
And the toilet blew up
Later on the next day-ay-eee-ay
Blew up the next day
Woo-ooo
We are millions n millions,
Were coming to get you
Were protected by unions
So don't let it upset you
Cant escape the conclusion
Its probably gods will
That civilization
Will grind to a standstill
And we are the people
Who will make it all happen
While yer children is sleepin,
Yer puppy is crappin
You might call us flakes
Or something else you might coin us
But we know you're so greedy
That you'll probably join us
Were coming to get you, were coming to get you
