          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
