Long Lunch |
| Top dog settled at Kirribilli house |
| Give me a can of kerosene and it get liberally doused |
| Miserable louts |
| You made my home a target for terrorists |
| And we created wealth and then we see you not sharing it |
| You be staring down the barrel of some pissed off youths |
| If you hypocrites on fire they wouldn’t piss on you |
| They saw you and your cronies all rortin' the system |
| So they rort the dole and asked what’s the fuckin' difference? |
| Only a couple of million not counting the super |
| And then if you want less than 50G you out of the loop |
| Like the rich you got the better tax accountants |
| Like the ones who made a molehill out of Packer’s mountains |
| So for six years counting I haven’t paid a cent |
| And if my HECS debt hit I couldn’t pay the rent |
| Don’t forget that these cunts who got a free education |
| Are the same ones that talk of mutual obligation |
| Lay back and take the pay packet |
| Top dogs all play the same bracket |
| Long lunches, cars and hotels |
| The boss don’t know so don’t tell |
| Lay back and take the pay packet |
| Top dogs all play the same bracket |
| Long lunches, cars and hotels |
| The boss don’t know so don’t tell |
| He rode the elevator to the seventh floor |
| Sweaty palms, collar tight as he walked into the board room |
| Trying to look convincing in his in fitting suit |
| He took his place before the panel for the job interview |
| Now how could you contribute the questions game |
| He’s only in it for the loot but he’s still playin the game |
| And telling them, what they wanted to hear |
| Bout how the advertised appointment was his dream career |
| The office monkey, he got the job |
| Prey partition, grey desk, grey suit, grey hair, grey position |
| Great hustles, he had the promos in the post |
| After hours photocopying the flyers for shows |
| Long distance phone calls international faxes |
| But soon enough his actions caught his manager’s eye |
| Written warning, last chance he was put on probation |
| Fine fire me he said but think about the piece your taking when you |
| Lay back and take the pay packet |
| Top dogs all play the same bracket |
| Long lunches, cars and hotels |
| The boss don’t know so don’t tell |
| Lay back and take the pay packet |
| Top dogs all play the same bracket |
| Long lunches, cars and hotels |
| The boss don’t know so don’t tell |
| (Frankly, I’m just about sick to death of it |
| There’s no corruption story |
| I’m not gonna step down I’m not gonna resign there’s nothing |
| There’s nothing there |
| I’m not gonna resign anyway over a good deed |
| There’s no corruption, it’s simply an act of good faith) |
| Look me in the eye and say you never saw it coming |
| Imaged by our good will hunting |
| By any means nothing |
| We stand tall but my minimum wage keeps cutting |
| You wedge me in and expect me to watch you keep cutting |
| Dolph Lundgren mixed with Mr. Ricky Gervais |
| You can consider this a tribute to the shit that you pay |
| Casual rates, evict us, shutting the drapes |
| Lower the conditions no one even feels for the place |
| You can have your caviar man I’ll keep my crumbs |
| Paycheques that pay salary I’ll manually add sums |
| So bang your hand drum, take production offshore |
| But John will stop falls through cracks in the shop floor |
| What, you’re wanting me to be loyal to this chain? |
| This bullshit name paying me this short change? |
| People, have their revenge range |
| You know what I’m saying we speak the same |
| Lay back and take the pay packet |
| Top dogs all play the same bracket |
| Long lunches, cars and hotels |
| The boss don’t know so don’t tell |
| Lay back and take the pay packet |
| Top dogs all play the same bracket |
| Long lunches, cars and hotels |
| The boss don’t know so don’t tell |
