PAID IN FULL

I've lived my whole life by the book
Obeying all the rules
So pardon me if you have a gripe
But I think I've paid my dues

I gave what was expected of me
And then I gave some more
Above and beyond the call of duty
Only to be kicked down to the floor

Many empty years were spent in tears
You hardly knew that I was there
I worked my fingers to the bone
I doubt you ever really cared

I've been neglected, disrespected
And I've taken all your flack
And in return, through all these years
I got so little back

I never asked for much from you
Maybe that's where I first went wrong
That's pretty much all that you gave
And I could go on and on

But now I've been enlightened
A person can take just so much bull
So here's my card, I'll say goodbye
Please stamp....DUES PAID IN FULL
