Story about a guy who gets laid off.
Laid Off

I lost my job today, 35 years,
my whole life just turned to tears,
Working for Ford, this was my fear,
No degree, turned 18 in 1973,
not many went to school then see?
baffled as i fumble with my car key,
drive home and all i feel is rage,
i feel like an animal trapped in a cage,
I get home and start to load my 12 gauge,
Fill the F150 with an arsenal, and begin,
Show my pass at the gate, they let me in,
I ask the lord to forgive me for the sin,
Drive my truck through the plant,
Parked near the line for half-shafts,
Strapped like Rambo, I just laugh,
Shoot out the window of the main office,
Kick the door down, search for my list,
See i'm here to kill certain people just,
Its all political, but bullets dont judge,
I see a co-worker run and spit slugs,
He drops to the floor and bleeds out,
I call out the others, names I shout,
I shoot the ones who actually step out,
Enough games, I decide its time to lay waste,
I pull the auto AK47 and light up the place,
A bitch comes at me with a can of spray mace,
I knock her the fuck out, broke her face,
I hear the police shout from behind the wall,
But prison isn't a place that I plan to go at all,
Gun in my mouth ready for the end, but i fall,
The SWAT team rushed me before i could,
pull the trigger and end this, oh i would,
Hope I get the death penalty, and i should.
