Thou Shalt Not Covet Unless Its Unfair

Jose Zuniga

If the girl across the street

comes back here

and I find that she is richer than me,

I'll quit my job

and hide under a tree...

Ha, what has life done for me?

Yet, Klissa gets a BMW

on her birthday

for having breasts.

Little have I done

that isn't work and hard,

then I see Klissa

who's done not much,

except date a --noble fellow.

I spent five years supporting this house

and now its owned by a bank,

caressed the frame, painted all the walls,

and put arcs where arcs were not there,

even took out all the bugs...

now the bank owns this house...

Klissa owns the bank,

and she smiles on her birthday,

while I, in my apartment,

Still can't see the light of day.
