Johnny’s at the agency
Underpaid outrageously
I’m on my last chance
Scrapin’ by on freelance
The man in the Hathaway shirt
With an eyepatch
Laid off the whole batch
Now he’s got a bad itch and no one left to scratch.
Look out folks
The whole thing is a joke
God knows why
But you give your best try
You better come up with a catchphrase
Better please all your bosses
They don’t like losses
A bunch of albatrosses
Demand your dedication
Despite the double-crosses.
Maggie’s workin’ on the deck
Gatherin’ the assets
Gripin’ that the due date
Moved up and now it’s late
The work got watered down
ECD’s a total clown
Everybody in town
Says he needs a beatdown.
Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
You’re workin’ every weekend
Chasin’ every loose end
Say goodbye to your boyfriend
Quiet quittin’ ain’t a new trend
Just a different kind of phone-it-in
Logos, bogos, everybody knows
You don’t need a fireman
To tell ya' that you're gettin' hosed.
Get high, get low
Get meds so you don’t blow
Take a pill, try to chill
Watch career go downhill
Try hard, get scarred
Don’t fret, don’t wail
Get stale, derail
Work on pharma if you fail.
Look out guys
I ain’t tellin’ no lies
The doubters, screamers
Shoulders back shouters
The coffee ain’t got creamer
The client is a pouter
Voices gettin’ louder
Budgets get leaner
Don’t forget to pay the proofreader.
Ah get hired, get fired
Grow a beard, be weird, get jeered
Get sold, win gold
Do what you’re told
Please her, please him, kiss ass
Suck up, fly first-class
Twenty years of workin’
And you get laid off en masse.
Look out fearless girl
It’s you against the world
Better update your resume
Rumor says it’s any day
Doesn’t matter any way
They give ladies half the pay
The people down in HR
Don’t even know who you are
And the ads don’t work
‘Cause the misfits got the pink slips.
