REDUNDANT (2)

REDUNDANT (2)

The guillotine is ready

The telephone is wiped

One final journey to that grey box

So ends my working life

They're waiting in an office
For me to come right in
Dotting i's and crossing t's
To fling you in the bin

Redundancy
It’s an opportunity
To make a new start
Composing your Art

Did I lose the job
Or did the job lose me
Services no longer required
Is it their loss - you tell me

Landing on the scrapheap
At a difficult time of life
Don't want to look them in the eye
As they wield their bloody knife

Redundancy
Such an opportunity
To make a new start
Composing that Art

It's not so much losing a job
More it was no longer there
Change and change and change again
The universe doesn't care

Another firm takes over
Needs ten million in cuts
The thing they bought no longer fits

Best just rip out all its guts

Redundancy
It’s an opportunity
To make a new start
Composing your Art

Suddenly you're heading home
With nothing much to do
Churning endless possibilities
For this life brand spanking new

People are encouraging
While you're stuck in your brain
A whirling swirling maelstrom
That's driving you insane

Redundancy

Such an opportunity
To make a new start
Composing your Art

This world expects things of you
You have to find your role
To try to start all over again
And find yourself new goals

So you start to look around
For something new to do
But everywhere you start to look
It seems they're redundant too

Redundancy
It’s an opportunity
To make a new start
Composing your Art

REDUNDANCY!
SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY!
TO MAKE A NEW START
WITH A BROKEN HEART!
