Jerry's Iron Law

from In the Garden of Panopticon by BAAN

/

lyrics

She came in with a great idea
No-one ever had before
It was a sure fire hit
So she told us
So she told us

But we told her
It’s mad and it will not work
She put her head in her hands
And she cried

She went back to the bank
To give bonuses to the big boys
We had her to thank
The bosses gave us no choice

But when she came back
The whole thing was dead
She raised a study group
And Jesus resurrected

Bureaucracy
Jerry’s iron law

Gotta have fun at work, too many cooks
Not enough laughter on the books
Tie this string in a magic knot
Stand there stupid, now what’ve you got?

Gotta have fun at work, we gotta eat
Gotta have fun at work boys, hit repeat

Close your eyes
The music skips a beat
Her mother has a cancer
But she can’t be beat

The undefeated me
A grand every day
It’s good in every way
Don’t make a fuss

Ended up in the daily news
Lost his job and his wife, bad blues
All because he had
No fun at work boys
He made too much noise
About the fucked at work boys
He lost his living
Over fun at work boys
Fun at work
