They say you cant teach an old dog new tricks

Then if thats true, please give me job description that sticks

I work day in and day out in my office cubicle called Life

I am a single man with no kids or wife

I do my schooling and I work off my ass

But my problems aren't just things from the past

You see life isn't just something that helps me put food on the table

its also there to make sure that my humble beginnings stay able

Though my necktie is loose i can barley breathe

Showing me happiness just so i can be deceive

I'm buried by the stress depression eats away

i'm numb to the core as my body slowly decay

I can feel every wave of my brain stand on edge

every pulse of stress pushes it closer to the ledge

typing away in my office cubical I sweat

Waking every morning wondering how worst my "job" will get

I work overtime but the pay has no worth

because the price I have to pay is where my sals due

the breathing, the health

the teasing, and no wealth

there is even a bill for my job

leaving me broke and my heart broken with a sob

And with this, some will understand me while others say suck it up

either way ill still be in the break room crying to feel up my coffee cup
