Y'all listen here, people,
Got a story to tell,
'Bout how love of money,
Is a ticket to hell.

Well I got the blues,
Yeah I got the blues,
I got the fluorescent-cold-office-corporate-America-blues.
Oh yeah.

You young whippersnappers,
You looking so fine,
Dressed up for your interview,
At the end of the line.

Oh you'll get the blues,
Like I got the blues,
You'll get the worked-so-hard-learned-so-much-just-to-sit-in-a-cube blues.
That's right.

You wizened old creatures,
With your sweaters and tea,
You spent your whole life,
For this cold company.

Now you got the blues
Just like I got the blues
You got the gave-your-health-to-get-wealth-and-a-retirement blues
Mm-hmm

We all got the blues
The corporate blues
We got the sunny-day-stuck-inside-wish-I-could-go-and-play blues
So bad.

      There once was a young man from Tucson
      who held a fine job he could muse on.
      His prose was direct,
      his poems had effect,
      his blog was the place he'd turn loose on.

      Umm, not sure what that means, just wanted to leave a comment.
