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
