"It should be okay"? Eating those words now
Hope's gone down the drain now the lackey's out
Kind of a lot to take in, I'm so screwed now
Good chance I'll go insane now the lackey's out

Never had much cause to focus my thoughts
On how much stuff needs to get done day to day
Knew I left things up to my Number One
Guess over the years, things did accumulate
He's earned a holiday, asked him to leave
His job list and said "Well, how hard could it be?"
Stupid me

He deserves a raise, maybe sev'ral, wow
Good thoughts gone away now the lackey's out
Glad the list's an email, paper would roll down
And reach to the next state, sucks the lackey's out
Sucks the lackey's out

My brain's drawing a blank on these names, know jack
What's the style guide for all of these letter things?
The system's beyond me, yes, I have degrees
But it's been years since I used that shit
Running myself so damn ragged, can't breathe
How did he find time to take a break for tea?
Or coffee?

I should delegate but I'm too damn proud
Prove I've earned my place now the lackey's out
Though I have checked in case he assigned work now
And that's a "no", okay, sucks the lackey's out
Sucks the lackey's out

He's away and I get why now
It's a mad workplace now the lackey's out
Some things'll have to change, gonna write it down
We need interns unpaid when the lackey's out
