"Take Stuff From Work" lyrics

King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) Lyrics

"Take Stuff From Work"

Take stuff from work
It's the best way to feel better about your job
Never buy pens or pencils or paper
Take 'em from work

Rubber bands, paper clips, memo pads, folders
Take 'em from work
It's the best way to feel better
About your low pay and appalling working conditions

Take an ashtray - they got plenty
Take coat hangers
Take a, take a trash can

Why buy a file cabinet?
Why buy a phone?
Why buy a personal computer or word processor?
Take 'em from work

I took a whole desk from the last place I worked
They never noticed and it looks great in my apartment

Take an electric pencil sharpener
Take a case of white-out; you might need it one day
Take stuff from work
It's your duty as an oppressed worker to steal from your exploiters
It's gonna be an outstanding day

Take stuff from work
And goof off on the company time
I wrote this at work
They're paying me to write about stuff I steal from them
Life is good
