| Corporate Culture in verse (part 3): "Work" | |

Hello again I wrote this after reading that many US-based companies subject their staff to random drug tests. Sinnerman
Yeah, I've done "work" a few times-
It started as a laugh Everyone was doing it; At least half of the staff. First time, I'd been drinking - I wasn't thinking straight All my friends had tried it- Though they said it wasn't great. I'd do a little "work" on Monday Otherwise, I'd stay clean Quietly sitting at my desk But making sure that I was seen. But slowly, it’s grip tightened I did it more and more I couldn't rest at my desk I had to go and score. Come in early, show initiative- Though I was never caught - Getting my hands on “work” Became my only thought. Finally, my life had meaning I had self-respect and pride Though my friends were worried It just felt right, inside. But gradually, “work” took over I was doing all I could On the train, at weekends Suddenly, it wasn't good. Over time, the buzz just faded What was I trying to prove? I began to look back with nostalgia To my old "work"-free, useless, groove. I vowed to break my addiction Leave early, Friday's off "sick" Long coffee breaks, poor performance This “work” habit, I would kick! Yeah, I've done “work” a few times But It's months since my last hit And believe me when I tell you I'm desperately trying to quit.
