Minus 5 Dear Employer (the Reason I Quit)
Dear employer I'd like to tell you
It's been wonderful for all these years
But now you know I've got a new shoe
And I'll be wearing it so far from here
Dear employer your escalators
Are very dangerous on the way down
They rip the skin and they pull you in
Spit out the boney bits and coffee grounds
Dear employer I heard a story
When you were just knee-high higher than I
You built the wings and the propeller too
With balsa wood and glue you made it fly
Dear employer you commanded me
Your commendations now don't mean as much
Cause I'm a lost cause causing a problem
And I promise to be way out of touch
Dear employer when you hear the news
Please save the saintly words for saintly souls
Cause I'll be long gone long gone and rotting
Long gone and ulcerous nothing untold
That's the reason that I quit
The reason that I quit
That's the reason that I quit
The reason that I quit
That's the reason that I quit
The reason that I quit
That's the reason
That's the reason
That's the reason
That's the reason
