Me and My Big Fat Ego Failed the Business

me and my big fat ego failed the business

i swim in a sea of red because of my fat ego
everyone tells me this
but i dont want to listen
i run a fast food restaurant like a McDonald
instead of stimulating the business
doing the marketing, research and development
public relations etc
i rather flip burgers
you heard right, flip burgers
i flip burgers like a slave, sacrificing life
because of my fat ego
you heard right
my big fat ego
people ask me why
why, why
i tell them i flip burgers
to top the leader-board of most burgers flipped in a day
to me thats more important than the business
... to top the leader board ...yep
...and have best flipping burgers of all time.. yep
that right
it goes back to my big fat ego
theres was also stipulation that a burger flipper can only win once
so what i did ..i'm so shrewd
because of my big fat ego
is that i flip burgers under different aliases 
dont i have them fooled?
me best burger flipper of all time
yet my restaurant is drowning in whine
... me and my big fat ego failed the business
leading me into being in denial, losing my inhibitions
and talking about my personal life at work instead 
of being abstract
