lyrics

I didn’t think this job would last.
Just a summer gig to keep the car full of gas.
I was like you, so carefree.
Now I’ve got conference calls waiting on line three.

Choking on the words: “Middle management is all I’ve ever wanted”. I just can’t seem to remember my old dreams.

It’s hard being the big boss, making all the tough calls, every hour, daily. To climb the corporate ladder a little faster, you’ll need a friend like me.

I wish I’d learnt how to play guitar, start a cover band, Guns n Roses, CCR. Can’t you picture me on stage, stealing the show with November Rain?

I know what you’re thinking: you see me sinking in the depths of memories. It’s hard not to look back down another path;
would I see a friend in me? I don’t know.

So welcome to team. Here’s your cubicle with everything that you need. And after work, beers on me; meet at the Chilli’s just down the street.

I think that you’re a good fit if you stick with it you’ll go far in this company. And maybe in a few years you’ll replace the seniors and you can be just like me.
I know you feel complacent but if
you’re patient you can see yourself in me.
You’ll be the boss like me.
Can’t you see yourself in me?
