I Don't Have Time To Be this Busy ...

(I'm Too Tired To Feel This Busy)

I don't have time to be this busy.

Working so hard makes me tired and dizzy.

There has to be a way to stop this frantic mess.

So I don't have to put up with such chaos and stress.

The days are all busy running into each other.

The problems keep coming one right after the other.

Why don't they all just get it right in the first place.

Don't they get tired of going in circles with the rest of the rat race?

The work keeps coming as they place it in piles.

I work hard to get it all done and into the files.

The work keeps coming as they place it in stacks.

I work hard to get it all done before it slips through the cracks.

I work hard to maintain some kind of order.

Before things get jumbled and slip over the border.

The work keeps coming as they put it in heaps.

I work hard to get it all done before the time clock beeps.

But still the work keeps coming as they place it in lots.

I'm so tired from working I'm starting to see dots.

Oh when can I go home and get some much needed rest?

Just to start all over tomorrow on the same ole' quest.
