working. we all have to do it in
order to pay all of our bills.

in order to eat, in order to pay
for the medicines for our ills.

they say that all work & no
play makes jack a dull boy.
i've got to work so i can
afford the latest gadgets & toys.

it's not fair...really hard when
you work for the number one jerk.

some of us have no choice but to
do this thing that is called work.

they say that all work & no
play makes jack a dull boy.
i've got to work so i can
afford the latest gadgets & toys.

shorthanded, stressed out, whee!!!!
can you tell i've had one of those days?

when everything goes wrong and keeps
getting worse in every single way...

they say that all work & no
play makes jack a dull boy.
i have to work so i can
afford the latest gadgets & toys.


yesterday, i worked a 12 hour shift
that's why i'm so grouchy & tired today.

i really wanted to stay inside of the bed...
i usually like my job a lot, but not today!!
