Corporate Jive

Inside out, that's all they're asking,
Upside down.
I could never hide in the crowd,
No, the crowd wouldn't let me.
Oh no.
You don't look right,
Yes, that's what they'd say,
And black is white.
But I could never lie well enough
For the corporation.

Though I tried, they'd always ask me to swallow too much,
And it was never enough
For their cold shareholders' hearts.

They own your time, that's what they say,
And you must apply
For every minute of every day,
That you spend away from your pay.
Oh no.

(instrumental)

Overtime, yes it's expected,
The bottom line
Must be protected.
You're a cog in the wheel,
You only get one
Part in this deal.
Oh no.

Though you try, they'll always ask you to swallow too much,
And it will never be enough
For their cold shareholders' hearts.

When they're done with your body,
And they broke your mind
From multitasking your way
To that bi-weekly pay.
Oh no.
They'll let you go,
No explanation
Is required.
The next one's already hired,
And your name's been forgotten.

Oh...
Oh...
Oh...

My musical calling took a circuitous journey, but I gathered many influences along the way. I bring those elements, from the classical music my family listened to as I was growing up, the RnB, funk, and pop on the radio during my younger years, and exposure to multiple genres of music as an adult, (and my alter ego as an arts and culture writer), to my songwriting and singing. ... more
