I vegetate beneath a mound of work
which promises to take my life away.
I wonder if I値l always be a jerk?

I know that very soon I'll go berserk
if I don't get a grip. But come what may
I vegetate! Beneath a mound of work

my intellectual instincts, fawning, lurk.
I want to throw away my pride and play!
I値l risk the bet I値l always be a jerk.

The last thing I would ever do is shirk
responsibilities, so with dismay
I vegetate beneath a mound of work.

While colleagues look away and hide a smirk
I keep my head down, honour and obey.
They pity me for being such a jerk.

I値l look upon it as a well-earned perk
if I can leave at 5 o団lock today!
I vegetate beneath a mound of work;
I wonder if I値l always be a jerk?
