There’s a monkey in the jungle,
Watching a vapor trail.
Caught up in a conflict,
Between his brain and his tail.

Unfortunately, Leaffan, you have to be gainfully employed to maintain yourself. My advice is you go to your job and then when you get home, you find some means of releasing the tension of the workplace. Maybe go out to a small enclosure in your backyard and hit some object repeatedly while imaging it’s your employer.

I suppose you don’t want to play, either.

Are you working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie?
Has he got you running 'round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel?
Well, he can tell you what to do,
But he can’t tell you what to feel.

Emigrate to New Zealand. My Kiwi friends all tell me it’s easy to get and stay on the dole there.

Try banging on the drum all day and I mean ALL DAY some time. Go for at least 8 hours and really wail on them. I promise you that you will be back looking for a job within the week.
