      I gotta get paid,

      If I wanna get laid...

      I owe,

      Oh, how much I owe!

      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

              Don't let your dreams just be memes!

                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

                  Violets are blue

                  I've given up

                  How about you?

                    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
