Nine to Five

How I feel about getting a “”Real Job” in the future.

Wake up, get ready, and go to work

Don’t be a lazy bum, suck it up

Drown your creativity, silence your voice

Work for less than your worth, get treated like a slave

Don’t you have family, a wife, and kids?

How about food, water, electricity and all your others bills

Stop thinking, don’t talk back, just do what I tell you

I’m the boss here, and you’re the worker

I relax, and you suffer

You know you can’t leave

Not now, why not wait?

Wait another year, in fact why not wait another thirty?

Then you can retire

Yes, then you can die and let the cycle continue

This is great & so true.
to quote the great Charles Bukowski…”How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? ”
