lyrics

I work for a company who work for a company,
who work for a company,
they were the lowest bidders,
amongst all the other companies

they hardly even pay me, they hardly even pay me,
they hardly even pay me a dime,
they don't give me any benefits,
they work me a minute less than full time

I need another job, I need another job,
only two more jobs to find,
maybe someday I'll make a living,
but first I have to survive

They don't care if I live, they don't care if I live,
and they sure don't care if I die,
if I don't show up to work on time,
they'll replace me with the next cog in the line

I thought the word union, I thought the word union,
for a half second in my mind,
before I'd even finished the thought,
I was fired and back in the unemployment line

I used to work for a company, work for a company,
who is now overseas,
I dunno who works there now,
but I'm sure they got it worse than me,

Yeah whoever's working there now,
I'm sure they got it worse than me
