Overworked and Underlaid

2017 Henrik Becker

You cannot tell me
not to complain
You don’t know what it’s like
You cannot feel my pain

I’ve lost all meaning
I’ve had enough
You brought me to my knees and
I cannot get up

Why I keep hanging on
though I’m about to crack
is such a mystery
I’m overworked and underlaid.
You won’t see me again
I’m never coming back
You are no good for me
I’m overworked and underlaid.

Another work day
I cannot stand
I’ve had enough of all this
“working for the man”
