Not everyone is a fan of restructuring... this little piece was inspired by actual real-life events going on at my workplace. Which, granted, I'm in favor of, but I empathize with those who are... shall we say, less than enthused....this song is dedicated to them!
Does need a bit of polish, and, you know, a REAL bridge, but I have a short month and at 8 hours and counting it was time to put this one to bed and move on :)
Alright listen up everyone, Eustace is going to explain what’s coming down..
Thank you Richard, thank you very much. Yes, so, in order to synergize our geographically disparate product streams and realize success in targeting opportunities focused on diversification of the portfolio while leveraging our base expertise in nofertrunion development, we’re going to migrate our current personnel stack to a model better supported in the literature as far as maximizing throughput while minimizing crosstalk and counterproductive work cycle collisions…
My work was simple and quick
Bill is my boss and he’s no prick
My to do list is not thick
I knock out the job real slick
Nobody’s business what I’m working on
Bill and I we just get along
Shit gets done all day long
Then at home I hit the bong
Chorus:
I like workin’ in my own silo
My work gets done fast not slow
I got one boss named Bill
He’s not a damned company shill
Fuck the matrix fuck the matrix
Just a bag of dirty shitty tricks
Word came down from on high
New structure we’re gonna try
I’m stressed I won’t lie
I’m on five teams, i’m gonna cry
Now I got five fuckin’ bosses
All of whom think their real hosses
Three can’t turn on a damned faucet
And the others’s brains are like omelettes
Chorus
You want works flows and efficiency?
You want obedience and synergy?
Have you heard of excel you dweeb?
Keeps lists just fine in a sheet.
Task tracking? fuck you you twit
And your jira ticketing bullshit
My work is on time
And all the parts fit!
Chorus

I love this but I especially want to call attention to the vocals which sound great. The spoken word style works well. Your delivery is even and clear, your fancy mic is picking it up well, and I can tell you didn't just record one take but cut up many different bits into a whole that works. Good job! Hope to hear more vocals in your upcoming songs.

This works really well. Enjoyable listen and great voicing and production.

“Fuck the Matrix” indeed. I absolutely this. Looking forward to the rest of your FAWM entries. Brilliant work.

Hahahahah well this intro immediately triggered my fight or flight response but man I dig it this is perfect in its simplicity and way too relatable barbs. The spoken word style, that snaky low synth, So many good lines! You captured the angst and apathy of being the little counterculture guy who still needs a damn job and therefore still has to suffer the idiotic whims of the frickin man and it’s perfect
