There I was The pinnacle of modern man I had clawed all the way to the top of the food chain Backstabbing and lying ever step along the way A healthy dollop of pate sat lovingly in a bowl labelled CEO Alone I sat staring out my double-paned palace A sickened look struck upon my face Disgusted in the portrait of my fellow man I unfasten another notch in my belt At that very moment Without warning My thread was plucked And everything fades away... There Floating down in a beam of light As if a feather caught in an updraft My name scribbled in an archaic font Is that... a pink slip? Fired from life My will your sacrifice Fired from life Your final breath will suffice Lay down in your plot and let it go Oh no Fired from life No severance ain't it nice? Fired from life Final sale cut to half price Still I don't think anyone will pay So get into the can it's garbage day Now you see, we'll start the show You stand before this tribunal And I, of course, the impresario Will guide the way so here we go The charges laid so bland it seems Upon the slate not but a vanilla bean But even still, you weren't that nice So you've gotten fired and lost you life But I worked all my life and I paid my dues Exactly what i was told to do In collared shirts in glass highrise I signed and stole and learned to lie Buddy you see you must be confusing That homeless chap and the drugs he's abusing You, the elitist so stuck in your ways? Complaining about all the taxes you pay? Just because I never gave them no change They’re on the streets and i'm here to blame? That's not the point, the point that I make Now is the time so accept your fate You see, I fear that you've gotten away From that moral compass no matter what you say You turned your back and it's cold as ice That's gotten you fired, fired from life Are you trying to say that I'm not caring? What about my family, who you’ve forsaken By taking away their beloved patriarch Leaving them lonesome and lost in the dark Your wife you were cheating Your children were beaten The only time you were around Is when you were eating The list goes on and on But i'm cutting it short You’re wasting my time And your family you hurt Here is my verdict The final conclusion Torment of fire For your life and its burden But how can it be That I'm going to hell I did what I was told And I did it so well That was your flaw You pitiful human For your sins you'll burn Forever in seclusion So shut your trap And throw the key away You’ve been fired from life So have a nice day
