Lyrics
Intro:
"Welcome to Corporation Nation Orientation Module One"
"Let's get this money!"
Verse 1:
First day on the job, badge on my neck
Corporate policy, better show respect
Cubicle living, fluorescent overhead
Excel formulas running through my head
Coffee in my system, clock watching hard
Micromanaged by a boss who's never worked this hard
Business casual but my flows are street
Grinding nine-to-five while I stack this cheese
Sign the NDA, confidentiality
While I hustle for this quarterly bonus secretly
Corporate ladder climbing, ambitious tendency
While these spreadsheets got me losing my i-I-I-I-I {Identity}
Chorus:
Synergize! (What?)
Maximize return on investment!
Synergize! (What?)
Moving forward with intention!
Quarterly goals, stack that paper!
Bottom line, nothing greater!
Optimize! (How?)
Cross-functional integration!
Optimize! (How?)
Vertical acceleration!
Verse 2:
CEO making dollars while I make dimes
That's why I'm hustling on the company's time
Reply-all energy, conference call mute
Playing politics while I'm parsing through
TPS reports and performance reviews
404 error: can't find my passion, truth
Commuter life, rush hour traffic fights
Sacrificing days to earn the weekend nights
Corporate America got me trapped inside
Fluorescent prison but these benefits are nice
Middle management flexing non-existent power
As I calculate how much I make per hour
Bridge:
"We need to discuss your performance metrics..."
"Your numbers aren't meeting expectations..."
"We're going to need you to come in Saturday..."
"Think outside the box..."
"But stay within guidelines..."
"Are you a team player?"
3... 2... 1...
Final Chorus:
Synergize! (WHAT?)
Maximize return on investment!
Synergize! (WHAT?)
Moving forward with intention!
Quarterly goals, stack that paper!
Bottom line, nothing greater!
Optimize! (HOW?)
Cross-functional integration!
Optimize! (HOW?)
CORPORATE DOMINATION!
Breakdown:
If you want that bonus (BONUS!)
Better meet those numbers (NUMBERS!)
Hustle for that promotion (MOVE UP!)
Work-life balance? (NO SUCH THING!)
Outro:
"Thank you for your participation in Corporation Nation"
"I quit..."
