Productivity

There was a time in history Your next meal was a mystery If you were lucky you might catch a fish But we have Amazon now No need for brains or brawn now Your wish list to your door in just one click Pointless productivity I sit behind a screen My fingers span the inches In a blaze of inactivity Captivity For hours every day I dare to call it work Relentless innovation Requires concentration To thrive in this knowledge economy My digital creations Have no physical manifestation I deal in intellectual property Pointless productivity I sit behind a screen My fingers span the inches In a blaze of inactivity Captivity For hours every day I dare to call it work Our avatars In silhouette Addicted to The internet We type and type But never sweat Our bellies stuffed Perpetually Defining sloth And gluttony We die too soon But live like kings For now let's just enjoy it No reason to avoid it Who needs an extra gear to coast downhill? Succumb, my couch potato Adopt my humble credo And watch the world revolve while we sit still Pointless productivity I sit behind a screen My fingers span the inches In a blaze of inactivity Creativity I exercise my mind And laugh to call it work
