Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a layoff
No escape from the ax for me
Open your eyes
Look up at the lies and see
I'm just a poor boy, but they have no sympathy
Because we're easy come, easy go
Nobody high, just us below
Anywhere DH goes, doesn't really matter to me, to me
DH, just axed a man
Put a letter in his hand
Said goodbye and now he's canned.
DH, layoffs just ended..
But now they've gone and done it all again
DH, oh oh
Did you mean to make me cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Unknown, presence unknown, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sent HR down the line,
With letters, one is mine.
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
DH, oh oh (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to lie
Sometimes wish I'd never been hired at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
CEO, COO, will you tell me if I'm canned, bro?
Canada and Texas while you're driving a Lexus!
Bye bye Devon (bye bye Devon), Bye bye Devon (bye bye Devon), Bye bye Devon it's been fun... Magnifico!
I'm just a poor boy and nobody pays me,
He's just a poor boy losing his sanity
Take away his job at this poor company
Easy come easy go will you let me go
You volunteer! No we will not let you go, let him go
You volunteer! No we will not let you go, let him go
You volunteer! No we will not let you go, let me go
(Will not let you go) let me go (never, never let you go) let me go (never let me go)
Oh oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
DH we have! Golden parachute put aside for thee! For thee! For thee!
So you think you can fire me and make me cry
So you think you can keep me and bleed me dry
Oh DH can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here
Oh oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
(DH) Anyway you steer blows...
