I am the office curmudgeon.
I am the one who reminds you
that this isn't an adventure;
it's a job.

Get back to work.

I'm the one with the bad attitude,
seeing the gerbils,
through the habitrails.
Seeing the happy workers.

Get back to work.

I am a manager's nightmare
The unmotivated expert,
with the wrong kind of initiative,
Doing what pleases me.

Get back to work.

I'll tell you what you can do,
You can have your job
And you can have my soul
But I'm keeping my attitude.

Get back to work.
