	Don't let the title fool you!! This is an agressive,complex,angry piece dedicated to disgruntled employees everywhere! If Geddy Lee played bass for Metallica around the "...and Justice for All" period,We think it might have sounded a bit like this raging melting pot of influences.
	Credits: Lyrics and Music by Scott Mapes(with some really cool suggestions from Dave).....Scott Mapes:Guitars,Basses,Vocals... David Bell:Drums and Cymbals... John Gillispie:Keyboards.Producedby John Gillispie
	Story Behind the Song This was inspired by an imcompetent,back-stabbing manager at...someplace I used to work..It was originally titled "Eloquent Venom" as it's a VERY angry song, but I don't resort to vulgarities. We practiced this song with just bass and drums for 2 years before going into the studio.Not only did it push Dave as a drummer,Dave pushed me right back and my bass playing reached another level entirely. The bass and drums on this track are the second live take,Straight through,no edits,or punch-ins. We both though we were blowing it while playing.When we listened back..it was "WOW! Take 2 is it!"Everything else,obviously,is overdubbed.We even had it divided into sections to make explaining stuff at practice easier. The intro;The Rush "Dreamline"section,The Judas Priest section,the drum fill,the Psuedo Chorus,the Megadeth section,the Paul McCartney section,the "Insane Maniac Computer Going Out Of Control"section,the Steve Harris,section,the Iron Maiden on amphetimines sectionand the outro.If you can pinpoint each one, we shall be duly impressed! Lyrics Have a Nice Day...(Always) You shake my hand and smile as you stab me in the back Twist the knife between my ribs like I don't notice that You rub the salt into my wounds and tell me not to scream The bitter bile burns in my mouth and fuels my hostility Love the people, hate the job yin and yang-opposing force You wouldn't know the truth in front of you you conniving corporate whore Depressive demeaning task undermining our esteem Blank stares of the walking dead cut and bled by corporate greed Imminent synaptic shutdown thought process losing control Rage broiling beneath my skin Tedious toil takes its toll Euphemistic language contorted in vain attempts to conceal the truth I can hear the subtext unspoken and it's exposing you Drowning in deception one lie at a time Remind me again how lucky I am it always slips my mind Going through the motions Triggering emotions of frustration, angst and spite Repetitive monotony Monopolizing me taking the time to take away my time We aren't the mindless driveling drones that you'd love for us to be We have our own lives away from here so screw the company!!!
