Tiptree

Complicated men
Like cowboys, ain't easy to love
And harder to hold

zerothehero

slippery when wet
and prone to narcissism
it's all about me

Elseware

Narcissus, roses
Pansies and petunias
We're all flower-y

Each of us alone
All with our own perfume
About ourselves always

We can always touch
One another with our hearts
We fight the good fight

zerothehero

nepotism is
conspiring to snatch that job
i had been offered

i am now told it
isn't mine just yet and that
there's competition

a local of course
connected and entitled
they should just shoot me

no wonder my brain
is misfiring what with all
this dang frustration

tell him what he wants
to hear and then go back on
your word and cackle

i like people i
can't smell cuz they're far enough
away to escape

choking seems fitting
to crack the lying larynx
and block the hot air

zerothehero

i'm trying to take
the high road but i can't seem
to find the exit

zerothehero

played til near sunrise
so now i'm all played out and
drooling from the mind

zerothehero

kick me when i'm down
kick me when i'm down and then
kick me when i'm down

zerothehero

i'm more up than down
i just feel like complaining
cuz i'm so damn tired

Tiptree

You need Leverage
Especially Elliot
To kick local ass

Elseware

Some rest is required
Possibly you're overwrought
Sleep tight our Zero

Gilmer

Here's to a good day.
We will be pulling for you
With test and the job.

zerothehero

today was alright
but it is true that the job
is up in the air

gleefan

I had to meet with
My lying larynx today
Hot air all around

Pains them to keep me
Pains them more to let me go
Pains me to stay there

They demoted me
Took away my position
And ask if I'll quit

Elseware

I can find no words
To make it any better
My heart aches for you

zerothehero

that is truly ******
i can so relate gleefan
we will survive this

zerothehero

they don't respect me
but "need" my knowledge and skills
can't have it both ways

been on the hunt for
two years but my boss throws a
fit every time

work-dependency
she punches me in the eye
and then brings flowers

not good enough so
i'm really leaving you this
time for good - so good

but then it doesn't
pan out so i return with
tail between my knees

i'm only in it
for the money cuz if they
paid less i would fly

zerothehero

you have to earn my
loyalty but you've lost my
respect in the end

Elseware

Raise is in order
Obviously know your value
So disheartening

zerothehero

thanks but a raise is
not the issue as much as
meaningful work time

zerothehero

i think too much to
waste my time on pointless tasks
(other than sr)
