the old gal behind the counter at the mini mart
one day she went off without a start
told me the best hamburgers are the ones i make myself
and people who don't have time to cook

well they're the losers
always working those high powered deals
eating carry out with every meal
snorting that cocaine in a bathroom stall
or in the office of the president they can have it all
but one day they crash from a heart attack
never having known the beauty of the slack
is that a matter of fact?
