"Storm Over Cut" is about the diverse strategies that artists have employed to cope with budget cuts. The first verse presents those who are actively fighting policy, either through protest or through negotiations, The second shows how some are dealing with the situation by adapting, for instance by adopting entrepreneurial newspeak. Finally, in the third verse, there is "Parasite Lottery" itself as an attempt to create collectivity and solidarity.
