I wrote some scripts today
To see if this will work
I focus on the screen
Our PM is a jerk
My mobile bleeps again
the old annoying ring
try to drown it in a cup
but I can still hear everything

What have I become?
My geeky friend
Everyone I know
goes home in the end
You can have it all
My empire of Perl
I will sit you down
I will make you code

I wear this iPod set
upon my office chair
All these broken tests
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of tea
Documents disappear
You are in the pub
I am still sat here

What have I become?
My geeky friend
Everyone I know
goes home in the end
You can have it all
My empire of Perl
I will sit you down
I will make you code

If I could start again
a million bytes away
I would leave this job
I would find a way...
