The Grouchy Spirit-Worker Theme Song



I don't want to Work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to pray
I just want to bang on the drum all day

Ever since I was a young tomboy
I talked to the Deities
And it brought me joy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing till I got
Blisters on my hand because

I don't want to Work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to pray
I just want to bang on the drum all day

When I got older, Gods think I'm a fool
My spirit teachers told me I am Their tool
They told me I wield power in my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the Old Gods sing and dance
And that's why

I don't want to Work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to pray
I just want to bang on the drum all day

Listen to this
Every day when I rest from my Work
I feel so frustrated
My Boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was my Boss's head
Because

I don't want to Work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to pray
I just want to bang on the drum all day

I can bang that drum
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I can do this all day
