or can't find a vein with the razor ...Bit of a theme there... do you know the Ballad of Tom Jones by Space, by any chance? I think you'd like it.
(Yes there's a tortuous joke there, though it might be too British, or even Welsh ;-) )
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
