Expendable Lyrics

Fired through a damn recording

Loyalty has lost all meaning

There's no job security

No solidarity

What you work on isn't yours

They know you, you don't know them

So they'll prey on your fears

Don't let them

There is no real excuse

This is simply abuse

Can't pay rent, can't buy food

You tell them all is good

Stop licking these people's boots

Your wage is their pain

All you are is a strain

On the profit of the suits

You're a resource in a sheet

And they'll treat you as such

Want to know if this is worth it

Not so much

Comfort till the next downsizing

Paid until the merger comes

Then the axing slowly hums

You're sinking

There is no real excuse

This is simply abuse

Can't pay rent, can't buy food

You tell them all is good

Stop licking these people's boots

Your wage is their pain

All you are is a strain

On the profit of the suits

Your contributions don't matter too much

Thousands of people should be evidence

That their bottom line will take precedence

Keep this in mind, don't be out of touch

Your value's there, never sell it short

You've put in the work and a lot of effort

You've gained the skills, but don't get complacent

They'll always want a cheaper replacement
