The bosses always tell us
not to take their decisions personal.
When they hold the pay raises
we need for gas and shoes,
that cash stolen from our families
becomes quite personal.
When we gotta wait two more weeks
to pay the electric bill,
or when we pretend canned pasta
tastes like chicken with sauce,
that's ******* personal.
When the knife or the gun
feels just right in our hands,
that's personal too.
