05 The Company

This Wretched Vessel

You gotta work long hours, Grind that stone
Work your fingers to the bone
Gotta make that money while you can
Before retirement and old age sets in

Do what you can for the company and
The boss ’ll take care of you

Forget about vacation or sick days
If the boss needs you, gotta make a way
Your family might be number one
The company is zero, the origin, son

When you hit forty hours your only part way there
To show your dedication to the corporate shares
Wake with a coffee, sleep to a stiff drink
Without the likes of you this ship would surely sink

We don’t need part time leeches
Who’d rather weekend at the beaches
What we want is more lifers
To sustain, drain, and suffer

Gotta work long hours, earn that pay
Justify your mediocre wage
If you want more dinero, then you’re going insane
Might be time to update the resume
