Shiftwork
Hes a living business legend sitting 30 stories high.
This fat fuck perspires carelessness and lies.
Pinched between his greasy skull and fucking collar bone,
is business as usual on a cell phone.
Everyone stand up and give a round of applause for the blue collar-slave driver.
His accomplishments benefit no one.
Hes toxic fuel in a corporate fire.
This fucker’s no joke, and cutthroat
and worst of all hes packing massive pension.
He is widening the gap, phasing out the middle class,
despite discord and dissention.
The deciding meeting made the verdict crystal fucking clear;
“Administration takes no pay cut this year!”
Naïve, shit-nosed suits and ties burst into applause,
but for their gain there comes a great loss.
Meanwhile, ten miles further down the road
a single mother of two children.
Once employed by the man, one of the hundred fucking canned,
and she doesn’t even know it.
Theres no telling what type of sacrifice she’ll make
just to make these ends meet.
She’ll lose her pride and self respect,
sell her body, sell some shit.
Another derelict statistic because of him.
I propose a motion to remove
geriatric CEO’s posing from pedestals.
Lets bring ‘em down, we’re taking back the reigns.
Keep their backs against the wall.
Lets take these fuckers down
from their high horse, we’ll cut it at the legs.
Keep their backs against the wall, for a change.
Bleed them out. Leave them in the dirt.
Put their backs against the wall. Strike first.
Hit them back where it hurts.
