	Story Behind the Song Any resemblance between the events portrayed in this song and real events is PURELY COINCIDENTAL! (Grin, wink wink, nudge nudge.) Lyrics The Workers Get the Shaft January 12, 2002 This company is going bankrupt headed down the tubes Those guys who work upstairs must think we're all a bunch of rubes I hear they all cashed in their stock before it hit the skids But we can't change our four o ones because the rules forbid. Chorus: They told us "don't you worry Everything is fine This company is healthy A perfect bottom line" But we keep hearing rumors About an overdraft The boss takes the elevator And the workers get the shaft. The honchos gave the politicians c-notes by the score Do you get the feeling they knew what was in store? The senators and congressmen all have dirty hands There may not be an uninvolved lawyer in this land. Chorus Bridge: If you or I mess up our jobs we're fired like a shot But if the head guy louses up he goes and buys a yacht He has a golden parachute a hundred million bucks While we sit in the park and can't afford to feed the ducks. This is nothing new I guess we're stuck with money's curse But as the years go by these things are getting worse and worse This can't last forever someday it will fall When it does all the high and mighty well crawl. Chorus
