I am not allergic to hard work

I am not allergic to hard work

it's just that it's no fun

I'd rather be watching TV

but there's so much to be done

just when I think I'm finished

something comes to take its place

I am not allergic to hard work

but it's better than being disgraced

I am not allergic to hard work

but hard work may be allergic to me

the floors need mopping 

but something is stopping

the worker inside me

I'd rather play on the computer

play video games as a soldier

I am not allergic to hard work

but it needs to wait till I'm sober

I am not allergic to hard work

watch out, right now I might start

to wash the dishes and notice

how they can break apart

but I know I will finish

and move on to the next task

I am not allergic to hard work

someday I'll be done at last
