Clean suit on straight lovely pants<\/p>\n
Screaming tie, transforming into a noose<\/p>\n
An Italian leather briefcase ejects a suffocating Mac laptop<\/p>\n
Spreadsheets pop out multiple eight-digit figures<\/p>\n
A lean workforce trembles, a fat board expects<\/p>\n
All sat, listening to slides brimming with lies<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the crowded work room, the boss has been alone all the while<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Profit is squatting nearby, seeking a new abode<\/p>\n
The workforce is dying, beaten ill by the boss\u2019 ire<\/p>\n
The boss\u2019 SUV outside exudes pity, unable to help<\/p>\n
The board has slept with juicy tales all year long<\/p>\n
All sat, waiting for the pregnant magic of transformation<\/p>\n
But the spreadsheet figures are not adding up, they won’t<\/p>\n
The board is spitting eight-digit curses upon the payroll<\/p>\n
Profit is standing afar, winking at new spinsters<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the crowded work room, the boss has been alone all the while<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The meeting disperses like the aftermath of war<\/p>\n
The bourgeois boss sheds tears under the corporate almond tree<\/p>\n
The pillars will collapse like a weak house in the woods<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to redeem the lies, to roll up the sleeves<\/p>\n
But the beaten workforce will care no more<\/p>\n
And the boss feels the biting hollowness of the pyramid top<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the crowded work room, the boss has been alone all the while<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
