Spray - The Contract lyrics

Employment law is very complex When you employ a minefield of wrecks They come in late, they come in when they're rough They top themselves when the going gets tough If only, hey, there was some way To legislate and legally Protect us from the downtime that's occurred So if you could just keep a lid on your despair And then sign here, you're ready to go Contractually, you're bound by the company laws So get to work, enjoy your day I signed myself and never looked back All those dark thoughts were gone in a flash It stops you feeling ever so grand It's not despair, it's the hope I can't stand Now that's life, still horrifying But - for me - contractually now fine I have no mouth and I must scream So if you could just keep a lid on your despair And then sign here, you're ready to go Contractually, you're bound by the company laws So get to work, enjoy your day I am in hell, but at least (for now) I'm still alive And company stock continues to rise The only thing truly mine has been taken away So get to work, enjoy your day Care about everything Or care about nothing But anything in between Is pointless and insulting We know you care and you show it by how much you cry Until it impacts your leisure time You can ignore the polished brutality Reflected in your telephone screen I have a voice but I cannot scream anymore 'Cause if I start then I'll never stop My consciousness is not mine to own anymore It's soldered to your TV set
