Work Jerk













These people are not going to work
they are going to WAR
but what for?
food on the table, pay the bills, tradition
our ancestors always did it this way
knees & elbows, narrowed eyes,
weekend's gone
5 days of blood and gore
some find it interesting
some find it a chore
hang on
I'm sounding like a bore 
I want everybody to be work refuseniks
instead of sitting at desks
 thinking of something that rhymes with it
"I'm a work jerk"
still young enough to kill, not old enough to care
the thousand yard stare
anything to stop me thinking about loneliness and death
I'll go to work and get a microwavable meal for one
and some kind of exotic bun
to watch celebrities
also known as
non regimented people with an imagination
interviewing eachother
ont big screen
before I go out to the shed
to make myself a bed
Fuck it!
I'll be a boffin and make myself a coffin
and wrap myself in a shroud of
WORK!
