It's ok Mr Jones, your job is quite safe,
But I'm afraid you'll have to apply for it again.
It's not quite what you'd planned and we're sure you'll get the role
But your salary's not quite the same
We're very well aware of the issues that you'll have
And we'll deal with that if things get too sour
But we're sorry to announce that the questions you may ask
Are no match for our hierarchical power
We'll listen to the unions and then go our own way
Because we know what's best
And that's what lines our pockets with gold
When it all goes wrong we can say that we listened
To the voices of the people
Even if we didn't pay any mind
In this open forum you can say what you like
We keep telling you we're all friends here
If you kick up any fuss then we'll get you on your own
And confront you with confusion and fear
So your question is important but the answer is not to us.
We'll listen to the unions and then go our own way
Because we know what's best
And that's what lines our pockets with gold
When it all goes wrong we can say that we listened
To the voices of the people
Even if we didn't pay any mind
Your question is important
Your question is important
Your question is important
Your question is important
Yeah
We'll listen to the unions and then go our own way
Because we know what's best
And that's what lines our pockets with gold
