My Employer

I'm aware of my age My impermanence and so forth I’ve made arrangements to change But my nature will make its case And then work comes first I'm sorry again I can't think two things at once I don’t mean to be so cold But if it means a movie alone It could be worse I found fire when I was twelve It's lasted over twenty years And I can count on one finger The people that can hurt me now So work comes first I'm sorry if I shut off Never been able to do both So I keep my nose down And if it means a movie alone It could be worse
