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?
