Chain Breaker

Provident, under Sony. The claim is that a captive can be gotten out.

Provident released it. Provident is Sony's Christian group. The record is aimed at the person who has decided the habit, or the debt, or the shame, is the rest of their life. It says that is not the last sentence.

A house can sing that without turning it into a slogan. If you play it, be ready to be the practical help, not only the chorus.

RCA, under Sony. A joke with a true bill inside it.

RCA released it. Sony owns RCA. The cup of ambition is a joke until you have had the job. Then it is a description of a day that begins before you are awake and ends with someone else taking the credit.

Laugh, and then notice who in the house, or the shop, is the one the song is about.

The typewriter percussion is a job, done with wit.
Household

No reverence for the office. The person is the point.
Courage
