about

About my time working for Gold Buyers Australia.

lyrics

It could have happened to anyone, 
Saw an ad in the paper, it looked like a dream job:
Great rates, good fun, didn’t look too hard,
Didn’t think I’d get it ‘cos it looked just perfect for me, 
They said start immediately.

For a while I was happy, 
I didn’t let all the stares and random abuse 
From strangers get me down, 
They don’t know me anyhow.

I guess the point that I lost faith
Was when Bill in accounting made a complaint and 
That was the last time anyone heard of him, 
I heard he went for an acid swim.

Slowly a nagging doubt fell upon my mind
That the work I’m doing might destroy mankind
But the most important thing is to clock in on time
‘Cos the money is fantastic.

Yeah I know it’s immoral and it may not be wise
But I work for the bad guys.
My boss is a wanker, all he tells us is lies - 
I work for the bad guys.

They really handled it cleverly, 
The training after recruitment was reasonably basic
And then they started gradually,
Turning up the evil.

A little workaround here and there, 
They made it like it was your idea 
To throw out your ethics and swear you would faithfully,
Toe the company line.

A turn of phrase from our CEO,
Could make a vacuum cleaner blow 
And not have a clue it was doing it, 
Let alone why.


Every meeting leaves a stronger sour taste in my mouth, 
I recognise bullshit but I don’t have a cow,
I stifle my conscience simply by pointing out
That the money is fantastic

Yeah I know it’s immoral and it may not be wise
But I work for the bad guys.
My boss is a wanker, all he tells us is lies - 
I work for the bad guys.

Yeah my boss is always carrying his sinister cat, 
And he makes us wear really uncomfortable hats,
I’m not sure of what my limits are of what I can stand
But fat cheques are really good for wiping blood off your hands.

Yeah I know my karma’s a bitch & it’ll catch me sometime
But I work for the bad guys.
I fed a guy to piranhas, after drugging his wine:
I work for the bad guys.
I even cheat on my taxes but I never get fined, 
‘Cos I work for the bad guys.
Don’t judge me by what I do on company time - 
I work for the bad guys.
