Death is just a consequence
It very nearly broke my heart / To tell her it would fall apart / As everything is drawn towards / Those final exit doors / And death is just the consequence / Inevitable consequence / The ultimate consequence / It’s just the consequence of life.

We have to pretend to be zombies
They want some new KPIs / They want some digestible lies / Don’t tell them the truth, they don’t want to hear / In this culture of madness and fear / She turned to me and said / “Have you seen ‘Sean of the Dead’? / We have to pretend to be Zombies” / Zombies....
Management is the source of our ills / Compulsory fun. And we have to look thrilled / Idiotic and dumb, they’ve forgotten to think / And the theory they have has started to stink / She turned to me and said / “Have you seen ‘Sean of the Dead’? / We have to pretend to be Zombies” \ Zombies....
If you want to retain your sanity / Bow to the Emperor’s vanity / Don’t let them know they have no clothes / Don’t tell them their stupidity shows! / She turned to me and said / “Have you seen ‘Sean of the Dead’? / We have to pretend to be Zombies” \ Zombies....

For the good of us all
Want to be judged by the things that we do / But the things that you trust get fewer and fewer / What’s in the way? It’s so hard to say / Something has brakes and injustice it makes / Carry this thing for the good of us all \ For the good of us all \ For the good of us all
Burdened by goodness, conscience a guide / And when we do good it’s a matter of pride / But pride is weakness and lying in darkness / It all seems so pointless, so why do we try / To adhere to this thing for the good of us all \ For the good of us all \ For the good of us all
Could have been someone/ A rich one, a fun one / Rejecting contentment for anguished resentment / Is that me? Is that you? Is that us? / Is there good in us all? \ For the good of us all.

Urban hermit
Solitude. Away from the circus / The clowns are in charge, but they take it very seriously / Its purpose? To keep you stupid / Never question anything if you want to survive / The way we stay, the games we play / The things they do to get to you / It’s simple! You’re part of the system! You could not resist them / When they came for you.
The madness of their language / Is it language, when you speak gibberish? / They say one thing, and mean another / Negating any reason for being alive /But we remain in meaningless chains / A choice we make to communifake / It’s simple! For a place in this pile / We have to comply / Ahh we are all insane!
Design? I think, by Kafka / The alternatives to compliance - just fight or flight / Decisions just get dafter / I’ll have to make my escape by night / So I will away - on my own , I will stay / And live in my shed everyday
It’s simple / I’m out of your system / I could not resist them / so I ran away.

We want to work and we want to make / We want to give as well as take / But we don’t want to live under the rule / Of a stupid hierarchy and its management tools / But scheduling and tracking, CRM Panopticon / Monitor our performance on another action plan / Forgetting we are human, a unique primate / And we must express our need to create \ Create! Create! Create! Create
We all need something we can believe / We want to breath oh we want to breath / And stretch our arms and stretch our minds / From the darkness of a theory that you will find / Crumbles on contact with logic and reason / It’s just blind faith in the management religion / Forgetting what is human and in our natural state / We must express our need to create \ Create! Create! Create! Create
Undo the chains, release the inmates / Let us be free to innovate ....and Co-create \ Create! Create! Create! Create

No thanks
He was a humble junky / He was a thieving monkey / He said the Police were Nazis / He jacked up in the khazi / Offered fun and offered sin / It never did occur to him to say \ “ No Thanks!” No Thanks! No Thanks! / [It’s alright mate I’ll give it a swerve]
He would never fail ya / With all his paraphernalia / Generous as the sun in spring / He could get you anything / Offered fun and offered sin / It never did occur to him to say \ “ No Thanks!” No Thanks! No Thanks! / [Non Merci, Nein Danke Nyet!]
More than once he lost the plot / Learnt his lesson, then forgot / Never knowingly undersold / He always had a heart of Gold / Offered fun and offered sin / It never did occur to him to say \ “No Thanks!” No Thanks! No Thanks! / [Oh go on then!]

Just us
There’s no boom, there’s only bust / There’s no shine, there’s only rust / There’s no love, there’s only lust / There’s no justice, there’s just us / There’s no justice, there’s just us \ Just Us! Just Us! Just Us! Just Us!
Take your chance and count the cost / Roll the dice, your fingers crossed / See who’s won and see who’s lost / Who’s left standing when the music stops / Who’s left standing when the music stops \ Just Us! Just Us! Just Us! Just Us!
Zero hours no living wage / Unpaid carers, dignify your old age / Equality, you never made the grade / Pay the price for the choices we made / Pay the price for the choices we made \ Just Us! Just Us! Just Us! Just Us!
Read the terms on what you’re sold / Question things that you are told / Time for us to break the mould / All that glitters is not gold / All that glitters is not gold \ Just Us! Just Us! Just Us! Just Us!
There’s no boom, there’s only bust / There’s no shine, there’s only rust/ There’s no love, there’s only lust / There’s no justice, there’s just us / There’s no justice, there’s just us

Sing
Don’t Leave your troubles outside; bring them in and we’ll wallow in them / I’ll bring some of mine and we’ll share, in the depths of despair / Time just slips away /Without a sound, Day by day. \ So Sing just for the sake of singing \ Rejoice in the smallest of things.
Politicians they don’t inspire me. They just make me feel tired / Feels like we can only have small victories, while the war is definitely lost / Time just slips away /Without a sound, Day by day. \So Sing just for the sake of singing \Rejoice in the smallest of things \ Sing in this cage of despair \ Sing in this cage of despair \ Sing in this cage of despair

Jack
I’ve been a wicked boy / I’ve been a wicked man
I’ve dabbled where I could / And dallied where I can / I’ve taken liberties at leisure / Both for profit and for pleasure / I never felt a pang of guilt / It’s just the way I’m built / Lalalala
My name is Jack the lad / And many women have I had / I never stopped to know their names / I just treat them all the same / I don’t mind the condemnation / It just feels like adulation / I was young and wild and free / Full of lust and joi de vie / Lalalala \ I’m just a Jack the lad/ Best time you ever had \ I’m just a Jack the Lad best time you ever had
Now I sit here on my own / No one calls me on the phone / I wallow in self pity / No one remembers me / Now I’m lying on death’s bed / Thinking things I should have said / I should have said and should have done / Too late my dying time has come / As I draw my very last / And think of all the things that’s passed / I was just a Jack the Lad / Best time you never had \ Lalalala

Disinclined to acquiesce
Somewhere between too young and too old / Somewhere between too hot and too cold / Somewhere twixt too afraid and too bold / It’s time to let this life unfold / Somewhere between said and unsaid / Somewhere between being born and being dead / Somewhere twixt leading and led / Let’s let out what’s locked in the shed
\ We are the source of your distress \ We’re disinclined to acquiesce
Avoid the path of least resistance / From burning issues don’t keep your distance / Life is more than just subsistence / Feel the joy of your existence / Force of nature. Feel the power / Enjoy the sun! Enjoy the shower! / Tastes so sweet. It tastes so sour / Seize the moment! Seize the hour! \ We are the source of your distress \ We’re disinclined to acquiesce
A certain age, more days behind / Sometimes admired, sometimes maligned / Misunderstood and unresigned / To acquiesce, we’re disinclined/ Misunderstood and unresigned / To acquiesce, we’re disinclined / Misunderstood and unresigned, / To acquiesce we’re disinclined
