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?
