boss, try to be less
of what you are
try to be someone who
admits wrong cap in hand
try to call someone else
right for a change
let one of the machines
you love so much
pound you down into dust
like it does the rest of us
then rise
from the factory floor
to face your workers
cry for forgiveness
boss, try to be more
then we’ll stone you
with rocks
we’ve been gathering
for years and years
