Dear Employer (The Reason I Quit)

Dear employer, I'd like to tell you

That it’s been wonderful these last few years

But now you know, I've got a new shoe

And I'll be wearing it so far from here

Dear employer, your escalators

Are very dangerous on the way down

They rip the skin and they pull you in

Spit out the boney bits and coffee grounds

Dear employer, I heard a story

When you were just knee-high, higher than I

You built the wings, the propeller too

With balsa wood and gluе, you made it fly

Dear employеr, you commanded me

Your commendations now don’t mean as much

'Cause I'm a lost cause causing a problem

And I promise to be way out of touch

Dear employer, when you hear the news

Please save the saintly words for saintly souls

'Cause I'll be long-gone, long-gone and rotting

Long-gone and ulcerous, nothing untold

That's the reason that I quit

The reason that I quit

That's the reason that I quit

The reason that I quit

That's the reason that I quit

The reason that I quit

That’s the reason that I quit

The reason that I quit

That’s the reason

That's the reason

That’s the reason

That's the reason
