Poop on Company Time

Written by Robert Boddington

A song about a way you can quietly protest at work.

LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

That's why I poop on company time


Being good at your job ain't really a factor

When you work in the bowels of a nuclear reactor


CHORUS


My job the say is a simple thing

I just press a button when the speaker goes ping


CHORUS


The boss man is a millionaire

But when I ask he says there's no money to spare


CHORUS


My personal way of protesting the system

Is regularly emptying the company cistern


CHORUS


My mandated breaks are just not enough

For me to clog up the bog with my internal stuff


CHORUS


But now HR wants a word with me

They've blown all the budgets on toilet paper you see


CHORUS


They've tried to fire me but I've got to stay

My tenure means I'm here until my dying day


CHORUS x 2
