Worker's Lament
 by dougie
To the nonsense of work place laws


  it used to be easy to do a job
  but today it's rarely so
  prestart meetings
  talk, bloody talk
  another flamin jha
  then a lecture how to dob
  
  chorus
  biro biro reams of paper
  used to be a goer
  but now i'm scared to work
  biro biro reams of paper


  I used to be as safe as houses
  but now I am really worried
  will I fall down below
  or bump my head
  will I hit my finger
  or kack my bloody trousers
  
  these pricks with an education
  some are really only kids
  tell what's safe untill
  glassy eyed we go
  even fall asleep
  or tumble off our flamin chairs

  why not go and have an accident
  prove they're bloody right
  all that talk and worry
  really does the job
  lets break a leg
  and make a real paper trail you bet

  all they're worried about is gain
   and their flamin bonus pay
  soon it will be like this
  killed on the job
  quick before they see
  hose the mess down the drain
