[Verse 1]
Showed up late
Two hours past nine
Spilled hot coffee
On the boss’s new tie
I said
“I’m lazy
I’m not even gonna try”
He said
“That’s honesty
We need that kind of guy” (oh no)
[Chorus]
I can’t get fired
I’m too bad to let go
Every mess I make
Just helps the numbers grow
My wife says
“Baby
That job is good for you”
Good for me
But not for the poor team you put through
[Verse 2]
Unplugged the server
To charge my phone
Lost three weeks of data
Whole department groaned
HR called me in
I thought
“This is the day”
They promoted me to “Head of Doing Things My Way”
[Chorus]
I can’t get fired
I’m too bad to let go
Every time I slack
Office productivity grows
My wife says
“Honey
That paycheck’s coming through”
Good for us
But what about the folks stuck working with you?
[Bridge]
At home I plead
“Let me quit
I’m a curse”
She kisses me and says
“Oh
It could be worse”
“You’re eating stress so your coworkers thrive
You’re like a vaccine keeping that office alive” (hey!)
[Chorus]
I can’t get fired
I’m too bad to let go
When I call in “sick”
They throw a welcome-back show
My wife says
“Baby
This chaos makes you bloom”
Good for me
But my poor cowork’s hiding in the break room
[Outro]
I file reports
In cartoon fonts
They hang them framed
Call it “vision we want”
I beg
“Please fire me”
They shout
“We’re inspired!”
Guess I’m working here
Till the building retires (oh yeah)
