about

(I PROMISE this song is purely for comedic effect. I had a couple interesting bosses at a previous job, and had nightmares and stress dreams about the way they treated my coworkers. So this song is a loving--if critical--tribute to that job.)

lyrics

Somebody tell me--
What am I supposed to do?
Somebody tell me--
What do you want me to do?

In every office, they're quaking in fear
Despicable tyrants, drawing so near
In cubicle silence, we bear their demands,
But they quake and they tremble--just look at their hands

Man, I think I want to tell you that
I'm leaving you dry, this chaos is a sign
Don't pretend you're surprised, 'cause there's no compromise
With a boss like you, how can anyone survive? I wish
This office would burn to the ground
And I swear to God, if I could, I would bury you alive

Somebody help me--
Just 'cause I'm new to the job--
Set expectations--
Oh, for the love of God
I'm nobody's milquetoast, I'm in full command
But for two fucking seconds, try to understand
When I offer solutions, you scoff and get mean
You're the tiniest man-child that I've ever seen


(Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!...)

I don't mean to be a bother, but I
Couldn't help but notice you screaming that's
Not the best way to get her attention
She's been in sales nearly a decade but
If you say so, surely you know best, but
You look like such an asshole right now
And also forever, I've dreamt of killing you
Every single night I dream of killing you, of
Tearing out your organs and feeding you them
And watching as the earth opens up and swallows this
Entire place, and every person here
And your screaming grimace as you meet your demise!
(Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!)
