about

The management extinguishes creativity and turns 'common sense' into 'nonsense'. Frantic fairground organs ska over a wonky four chord groove. A pile of words complain about the world of "bullshit jobs".

lyrics

Risk Assessment
You called me in for an interview. I was never going to get through.
You set some targets I couldn’t hit, not even on the range of missing it.
At the meeting it all seemed benign, but my life lies in between the lines,
of your form that’s there to set some norms, to measure how much I conform.

You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. Something got missed and I was dissed.
You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. I’m off the scale I’m bound to fail Bound to fail
…. Lets fail…

I missed the goal, over-ran the deadline. My personal best is the worst part of my timeline.
For my means there is a test, to cover the cost of social unrest.
There’s someone here who got lost and someone else measuring the cost.
I’m all accounted, I am a bill. No wonder I’m getting ill.

You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. Something got missed and I was dissed.
You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. I’m in the aim to take the blame. Take the blame.
Blame me man.

Check me out I’m turning radical, your tick box test is mathematical.
The results collated and calculated, guess what, I’m alienated.
Babylon’s burning with anxiety and we’re living in the Full Catastrophe.
But you can’t fix this by fixing me. I’m broken, we all are, you see.

You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. Something got missed and I was dissed.
You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. Something got missed and I was dissed.
You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. Something got missed and I was dissed.
You assessed the risk, didn’t get the gist. I’m one more for your reject list.
