Protestant Guilt
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?
