Hear and Obey

My Captain’s so mean on me
He says What are you deaf
And I say Yes sir that’s right
And he says Well you better get a hearing aid
And I say I already got one sir
And he says You better get a new one
This one ain’t working
He’s got all the answers

The Balls of Your Feet

My Captain’s always switching it up
He says
From now on we’re working from right to left
You runts are tripping all over each other
A week later he says
From now on we’re working from left to right
You runts are slow as Christmas
With him you got to be ready for anything

Pay Attention Think Ahead

My Captain’s always telling me
Think about the next step
So I didn’t finish closing the cap
When I set off the sprinkler system
That happened once before
When I crashed into the guard rail
I was thinking about the next turn
Because I didn’t know if it was left or right
Kept going around the exit ramp
Kept going around
Then I had to pay for it
But my Captain doesn’t care about all that
I’m mopping up the puddles
I’m filling out the accident report
I’m thinking about my complaints
How can you screw it up every time
You can if you’re stupid
It’s something I’m good at

Mind over Matter

My Captain’s a hard man
He says
You take a sick day you get a note from the doctor
Or don’t bother coming back
I say
I can’t afford no doctor sir
And alls I got is the pukes
And he says
You puke in the shop and you’re fired
So I guess I’ll quit puking
