THE CORPORATE BLUES
I've got the Corporate Blues
I've gotta pay my dues
No more back to school
Or partying hardy or being cool.
A multi-national corporation
Is a different kind of life:
You sit around, answering phones
And it's only some executive's wife.
I've got the Corporate Blues
I've gotta pay my dues
No more back to school
Or partying hardy or being cool.
The chief executive's office
Is a snazzy place to be:
Corporate clones answering phones
Are everywhere to see.
All those years spent paging
Through infinite school books
Haven't given me a clue as to what to do
To get down pat that Corporate Look.
Studying Plato
Or learning of Columbus' ships
Has now given way
To inter-office memoranda and paper clips.
I've got the Corporate Blues
I don't know what to do
I'm wearing one wrong shoe
I think I'd rather be back in school.
