Labor Leisure

Just over your shoulder

An ambient dread

Boss texts after hours

Your friends left on read

And so you try to unwind

And relax your brain

But something never sits right

And pretty soon you find

That all your free time feels like work time

They’ve gone and gamified work

So now I workify game

They revolutionized fun

Now labor and leisure feel one and the same

There’s no worth without work

There’s no joy without pain

A quantum state of play

When labor and leisure feel one and the same

I am looking to relax

So I can be more productive

You can drink on the job

Or you can work from home

And when you're with your work family

You’re never really alone

You’ve gotta read more books, you’ve gotta finish that game

You’ve gotta get away

So you’ll be more productive

And your whole life starts feeling grey

And all your free time feels like work time

And all your leisure feels like labor

They’ve gone and gamified work

And so I workify game

They revolutionized fun

Now labor and leisure are one and the same

There’s no worth without work

There’s no joy without pain

A quantum state of play

When labor and leisure are one and the same
