“Get a job!”
My Dad used to tell me
And I used to get so pissed
Because I was in poor health
Well eventually
My health improved
And I decided that
I would follow his advice
So I went out and got a job
As a delivery driver
Nothing fancy but an honest job
Low stress
No boss
No coworkers
Decent pay
Every time my car
Breaks down
My Dad fixes it
Gratis
Even lent me the money
To get the car
In the first place
I drive it all the damn time
Around and around
The cripple and his car
Long hours
Night and day
Hell, Pops might even
Be a bit proud of me
Never says it
But I’m pretty sure it’s true
