I am the king of the new white underclass

I am the prince of the lazy and poor

I am the one who sleeps the latest

I am the one who won't do my chores

I am the god of unemployment

The Antichrist of the American dream

Don't write that memo don't send that fax

You shouldn't even pay your income tax

Workers of the world, unite and be lazy

Workers of the world, listen to me

Work all day for a tiny little check

Work all day for no respect



I used to get up and do my job

But now I enjoy doin' nothin' better

I think I'll go bum around

I think I'll enjoy this lovely weather



Maybe someday there'll be a revolution

Maybe someday we'll have meaningful jobs

But until that day I'm gonna be lazy

I'm not gonna be no workin' slob



I used to get up and go
