I know the axe is still swingin'
I wish I could be mad.
The goals Ive been working years for
I know will not be had.
That 4th week of vacation
It took 17 years to earn...
I'll never see it scheduled
When will I ever learn?
Retirement with a pension...
Dangling like a carrot on a stick.
You really had me going...
What a clever little trick.
But no, I can't be angry.
I did this to myself
The corporation is the benevolent Santa
I'm just a busy little elf.
To think I actually fell for it...
A corporation that honored its word.
What must I have been thinking?
We know thats quite absurd.
My duty is to profit
and I throw myself upon my sword
That shareholders lives may be enrichened
Is my only due reward.
