Story Behind the Song
People seem lost in their jobs sometimes, like they'd rather be somewhere else, but can't see a way out. The modern corporate culture seems to reinforce this trend. This song was an attempt to reflect on this in a humorous way.
Lyrics
Corporate Girl
CHORUS:
She was a corporate girl,
stuck in a corporate world
Trying so hard to survive
She toed the company line,
and was doing just fine
But forgot what it was to be alive
1.
She remembers a time when her troubles would fall
Like the leaves in her swimming pool
She wonders how she ever could've come this far
Only to wind up behind schedule
(CHORUS)
2.
She met a well-placed guy from across the hall
Who understood her secret urges
They went out on Saturdays and talked of better days
And sang each other's favorite dirges
(CHORUS)
3.
They married in the spring, she heard the warblers sing
As the sun set behind the clouds
There was much celebration, in it for the duration
But the band played a bit too loud
(CHORUS)
END:
Under too much pressure, she was a real sharp dresser
Hoping for a promotion, but they questioned her devotion
Out of touch with her feelings, up against a glass ceiling
Livin' on adrenalin, she fed her kid some Riddalin
Towed the company line, she was doing just fine
Forgot what it was, oh no... forgot what it was to be alive
