            I get that paid and laid rhyme, but it's sort of a stretch to connect getting laid to getting paid.

            I mean there are plenty of unemployed and unemployable people getting action.
            maybe like

            Burn the midnight oil

            So I don't eat soil

                      Aesthetically, I don't like ABBB for "Roses are red...". ABCB is fine, ABBB feels too forceful. And the plurals just turn it into half rhymes anyway. How about :

                      Roses are red

                      I used to have dreams

                      Work is a drag

                      But I guess I have memes

                        I've given up

                          I’ve previously heard:

                          I owe, I owe, it’s off to jail I go
                          Don’t ever mess with the IRS
                          I owe! I owe, I owe, I owe!

                            I thought our work song was:

                            🎶"I owe, I owe, It's off to work I go!"🎶

                                Boss makes a dollar,

                                I make a dime.

                                That's why I doo-doo

                                on company time.

                                  https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Fercris-Hart-1/Boss-Made-a-Dollar-I-Made-a-Dime

                                  Boss made a dollar, I made a dime

                                  That was a rhyme from a simpler time

                                  Now boss makes a thousand and gives me a cent

                                  When I′m an employee who can't pay my rent

                                  When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

                                  That′s when I protest and take my life back

                                  Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

                                  That's why I shit on company time

                                  Boss makes a billion, my prospects are grim

                                  Next company party, I'm gonna eat him

                                  When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

                                  That′s when we riot and take our lives back

                                  We make a penny, the boss makes fifteen

                                  Guess who′s in line for the guillotine

                                  Boss made a dollar, we made a dime

                                  Til' we went to his mansion and burned him alive

                                    Democracy is a lie

                                    Fascism is Liberalism, but when white people die
