I deserve a break today.
I'll get up and get away.
I'll get up and break away.
I deserve a way today.
I won't get a break today.
I won't ever get away.
I've had all I can take today.
I know I'll never get my way.
I don't deserve to break today.
I'll drift off and fade away.

You have to be of a certain age to know that "You deserve a break today, so get up and get away to McDonalds" was their slogan in the late 60s, early 70s.

Accurate observation that even the pervasive jingles don't always transfer smoothly into the realities of one's day!
Nice monorhyme (today, away) balanced at the start of each line with "I" or "I'll."
