Dorito Dust Pneumonia

from WEEK MATERIAL by bradlee z

about

My great grand pee-paw was a Dorito miner during the Industrial Snack Food Revolution. He toiled with his belly in the cheese for a meager wage that barely clothed his five daughters (from six different mothers).

At the time, little was known about the dangers of Dorito dust inhalation. Victims of "orange lung" were given over-the-counter palliatives or snake oil that did little to curb the escalating death toll.

This traditional folk song recalls the thankless plight of the Dorito miner who sacrificed his body so that one day we all might sacrifice our own.

lyrics

I got Dorito dust pneumonia
Pneumonia in my lung

I got Dorito dust pneumonia
Pneumonia in my lung

Well I went to the doctor...
he said I ain't got long
