Peanuts
4/3/13
I work for peanuts
Salted and in the (shell)
I prefer pistachios
(salted and in the shell)
Used to be you got an ounce of almonds
For your Christmas bonus (happy birthday Jesus)
Then they became trendy (milk, butter, all that)
Trendy means spendy and no more almond bonus
Kind of like the time they ceased allotting chickpeas for overtime
Because the hipsters got hip to hummus
Boss put a kibosh to Nutella, too
Never gave a RAT’S ASS about soy beans
Once they started pressin’ ‘em for milk
Knew inflation would SHIT on my take home pay
You can always get a steady rate
For peanuts
Prefer pistachios
But I work
For peanuts
