got lost on the way
I got told there was dignity in work
they must’ve meant some other stuff
than the things I’ve had to do
to lift a pay packet
be standing at the ATM midnight
watching the town clock click over
so’s I could buy bread milk
eat drink
go off in the morning start over
& they never say
watch out for the assholes
because there will be some
toadies fawners lickspittles to the boss
trying to worm up the ladder
get to be a paper boss
give out bullshit orders grow all upset
puffed up when these are ignored
‘they got in the way of the job’
used to work to piss them off
i recall only too well…
ps.
there were good managers
people who’d been promoted
because they were good at what they did
but I don’t remember any bullshit rules
coming from these
I guess they knew better
