CHORUS (X2)
Unemployed warriors! Waiting in line as we queue for the dole!
Unemployed warriors! Doing our best to find a new job role!
Unemployed warriors! Tellin’ our fams that we gonna be poor!
Losin’ our jobs to the homies in Bangalore!
VERSE
We are frustrated, seems like we are fated
To lose this family that we f---ing created
The decision was easy, wasn’t at all debated
Blatant corporate cost-cutting has left us all jaded
Don’t know what they bought, don’t understand what we do
It’s all about greed and saving a buck or two
This sh--’ll go south when the banks see the work
But the big suits sneer cos they don’t give a feeerrrkkkk
TR sold us out cos they be brainless
Promised our jobs would be safe, the transition be painless
What do we do? Gotta find a new job
Years of service cast aside just to save a few bob
The needs of the rich outweigh the needs of the poor
So they move our operations all the way to Bangalor
Gotta do something dumb, greedy and derivative,
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing motherfucking Refinitiv!
CHORUS (X2)
VERSE 2
So who are we? People with no place to be
I’m not an Amazonian or Googler – not even a refinitivee!
They’ve made a dumb--s mistake, why can’t they see?
cos they must be high – how f---ing thick can they be?
This job is complex, experience is the key
They’ll finally get it when this business is history
We built this place, proud to call it our own
It’ll soon be destroyed by the douchebags at Black s t-o-n-e
Got caught in this situation and now we are stuck
Thought we were secure but now we’re sh-- out luck
couldn’t knock sense into these d---s if we hit ‘em with a truck
We told them they’re wrong, they still don’t give a f---
Less of a start up, more of a corporate f--- up
When it comes to their data, their stats will soon s---
Our inexperienced replacements will soon be damn stuck
So unemployed warriors, lemme see you throw them middle fingers up
VERSE3
So keep them fingers in the air, and lets all say
That we’re heartbroken things had to go this way
Got stabbed in the back just because of our pay
They’re gonna start doing thangs in a much cheaper way
That’s why they’re moving our jobs outside the UK
The job markets tough and we’re about to enter the fray
Cos we’ve been made redundant, much to our dismay
So let’s jump this sinking f---ing ship without further delay
Friendship separation, poor organisation
Employee termination, corporate mas----ation
Decency castration, out-sourced job migration
Weak foundation, misinformation
Money fixation, eternal damnation
Old businesses cremation, regurgitated narration
This total miscalculation, births a sh-- reputation
The summation of all this refinivation
