Laid Off

Pierre Dolet writes his Notes from the Cube: "I found a ska song to match Hank's message yesterday...

You know
you can't work
in one job
all your life
So the Man says
"Go a-way."
They don't need you anymore
They don't want your knowledge nor
Any machine you know how to play.

Laid Off -
You're out the door.

Laid Off -
They want more

Money in their pockets.
Hey, you know Life sucks and
Get out now!

But you gave
them
the best
of your work
and your life
And the Man says
"That's just Biz."
Got to ruin other lives
Get that profit margin high
You don't really matter
Nothing really matters
But the Dime!

Laid Off -
They want more

Laid Off -
A lot lot more

Money in their pockets
Hey, you know Life sucks
Your life is Mine!

Well -
I never thought it would end like this
CEOs need to be more rich
I worked my fingers to the bone
Just to lose my job and home
For WHAT?

They're making 2 cents more!
For WHAT?
They're showing us the door!
For WHAT?
They're driving big fat cars!
For WHAT?
Goddam big damn arse!

Laid Off! Oh, yeah.
Laid Off! Shit, yeah.
Laid Off! Fuck, yeah.
Laid Off!
.............................. yeah.
