Give Me My Forty Acres Because I Know My Mule Is Dead

In "My Name is Status Quo," Hall takes the perspective of someone intolerant of affirmative action, writing:

I'll hang in there as long as I can,
But my tolerance is running extremely low.
I'm not ready for these new leaders,
So you can just call me Mr. Status Quo.

In "Holding onto Nothing," he tells of someone down on their luck, writing:

Because I wanted a little more than I had.
I signed something that I didn't understand,
And now that deal has gone bad.
