A 2-fer.

Song of the day: Part Deux.
Take This Job and Shove IT by Johnny Paycheck


Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left
An' took all the reasons I was workin' for
You better not to try to stand in my way
As I'm a walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
I've been workin' in this fact'ry
For nigh on fifteen years
All this time, I watched my woman
Drownin' in a pool of tears
An I've seen a lot of my good folk die
Had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off of my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left
An' took all the reasons I was workin' for
You better not to try to stand in my way
As I'm a walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, that foreman, he's a regular dog
The line boss is a fool
Got a brand new flat-top haircut
Lord, he thinks he's cool
One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top
And sucker, SHE's gonna pay
Lord, I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left
An' took all the reasons I was workin' for
You better not to try to stand in my way
As I'm a walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it

I knew today was going to suck. Self fulfilling prophecy, you say? No.
