Overworked and Underpaid
Hello, God, it's just me, Death
Here's hoping You are well
Most of the souls today are Yours
Though a few opted for Hell
I called to talk for just awhile
My job, You know, is grim
I may be cutting to the chase,
But I feel my pay is slim
I'd like to have a few days off
But my schedule's far too full
I'd like a brand new, deep black cloak,
And my scythe is getting dull
To put it bluntly, I rather feel
I'm overworked these days
These humans are dying far too fast,
And this job, it seldom pays
Bringing the elderly home to You
Is a pleasure for them and me
But lately I've carried too many others
Across the Stygian sea
