CORPORATION MELTDOWN
words and music by Alex Cosper

We barely made it through the door
after they tried to slam it in our faces
word sure travels far once you've been
kicked out of so many places

I know you've been leaving early on your own accord
I know you've been disagreeing with the board
and that'll get your name around
yeah, that'll get your name around...

The damage has been done
accountants had their fun
the auditors looked the other way
the books were cooked with exaggeration
ultimately the workers had to pay

The C.E.O. and the C.O.O. cashed in
they made a fortune - walked away, walked away
the C.F.O. did not know he got set up
he lost a fortune - got locked away, locked away

Down, down, down goes the falling stock
falling faster than a rock
everyone's pointing fingers in the halls
no one knows who to trust within these walls

We're waiting to see if we still have jobs
we're waiting to see how badly we were robbed
we're waiting to find out how little we are
we're waiting to find out how they crushed us because of who we are

The C.E.O. and the C.O.O. cashed in
they made a fortune - walked away, walked away
the C.F.O. did not know he got set up
it cost a fortune - got locked away, locked away

How can I depend on you
when you always let me down
How can I depend on you
when you always let me down
corporation meltdown

Corporation meltdown in the news
all the sad people are cleaning out their cubes
Corporation meltdown!
all the unemployed people sing, "there's nothing left to lose."
