about

Written and performed by Doug Hoyer, featuring Nicholas Mallis on bass.

lyrics

I didn’t think this job would last
It was a summer gig
to keep the car full of gas
I was like you; so care free
Now I’ve got a conference call
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
But it’s hard being the big boss
Making the tough calls
Every hour, daily
To climb the corporate ladder
A little faster
You’ll need a friend like me
I wish I 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
At another path
Would I see a friend in me?

So welcome to the team
Here’s your cubicle
With everything that you could need

And after work
Beers on me
Meet at the chilli’s
Just down the street

I think you’re a good fit
If you stick with it
You’ll go far in this company
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 a boss like me
Can’t you see yourself in me?
