Get rich never, living costs increase without delay Motivated to help. Expect no reward, Accept no Praise, Employed to serve the public, never work for profit. Driven to the greater good and to be a part of it. Dependable employees keep systems for a century. Staying decades, building institutional memory. Shackled by benefits, no private-sector risks. Worth the protocol and red tape to maintain and persist. The machine, no individualism, just keep the program running We’re the ones and zeros, with the budgets underrunning. To you, we’re slow or wasteful with your taxes The people feel ignored by we, who serve the masses. Cushy government Jobs don’t compare to private-sector We’re nameless, faceless drones, and your information protector Your opinions shaped by DMV, IRS, Court, or social service Tons of people working hard to conduct their lives with purpose. Government employment can be inspiring and hard work. Expect no reward, accept no Praise, Retirement is the perk.
