Run run
You’ve got to run
Now to keep up
With every dunce!
Economic crisis
Jobs at risk
You’ve got to be
Hard to resist
While one might desist
From shameless self-promotion
You’re forced to perform
Abhorrent acquisitions
The crisis has provided
A convenient excuse
For slimy management
To use every ruse
To hire at low wages
And fire at will
This is what we have come to
Another waterloo
While the pain is real
The salve is esoteric
It remains to be seen
If anything, will fix it
While this downward spiral
Doesn’t have a bottom in sight
There are icons of hope
Beckoning worldwide
So till the pendulum
Swings wildly, between
Hope and despair
We’ve got to watch out for, listless fear
And run run,
You’ve got to run
Now to keep up
With every dunce!
