Here's one of my own PRESSURE IS DOUBLE (sung to DARK AS A DUNGEON by Merle Travis) Lyrics Copyrighted - John A. Jesberger Come all you young women, so fair and so fine And seek not your fortune in the clerical line It will darken your soul, it will soften your mind It's a lifetime of boredom in the clerical line (Chorus) Where the pressure is double, the raises are few And whenever there's trouble, the blame falls on you Where the flourescents hum, and the laserjets whine It's a lifetime of boredom in the clerical line. There is no greater headache for any to find Than to work for a boss that can't make up their mind You will pound out the redrafts and reset the forms And wish that the moron would leave you alone (Chorus) You will stand all the pressure as long as you're able But eventually you will become unstable It's a mind-numbing hell, full of sorrow and strife Where the fumes of the White-Out can blind you for life Alternate last two lines You'll get asked to get coffee one too many times Then you'll strangle your boss with the packaging twine (chorus) Best Regards Jack
