I couldn't do that
I need feeling and purpose
My job
AlthEmough i admit sometimes

in Ffact, it can be pretty stressful
at the Emend of the day
I know I begun and completed the work
Fonly by my own willpower
There is work that is play

And play that is play
And work that is work
And in only one of these
lies happiness
I'm a pretty lucky guy
I love you and i love my job
