Protestant Guilt

I do not
Seem to have the
Protestant work ethic

I think I appear lazy
(To the taxpayer)
Yes I live in my parent's home
(Eeeek)

I will wait
And not eat
With my family

If you don't work
You don't deserve to eat!

A 30 year old man
Without a career
My goodness

And I've tried
I've tried
I got myself
A bit of an education

Heck, I ain't a genius
But I'm kinda smart too

I read Aristotle and Camu

Got a BA and a credential
As well

In this life
We all have
A story to tell

And my story
Won't include a job
With minimum wage

So I'm fairly educated
And with no dough

Content to lay about
Underneath
Park trees

Tao is wise mother

Don't you know?
Matt
