The Ballad of a Chief Executive Officer
© Enjoy Your Symptom Records, all rights reserved worldwide (ASCAP).


Castles made of glass and steel
Whip them cogs, turn those wheels
Nothing more than resources
Use them like they were work horses
Pick a fight with competition
Cut wages for ammunition
Take them with hostility
Business not civility

[chorus]
Downsize
Rightsize
Compromise
Sterilize

Despite the periodic layoffs
They'll keep the bonuses and payoffs
With funding for that new Corvette
Or fuel for the corporate jet
But wait now, something is not right
Profits have vanished, out of sight
Where's the Chief in these troubled times?
At Pebble Beach on the back nine
