lyrics

You said I quit and I said no problem
let's take this to human relations
You said I’m not giving you two weeks notice
I said that will mean arbitration

Was it the benefits, bonus or salary?
maybe we can boost compensation
You said it’s nothing to do with all that
It’s a more fundamental frustration

You said this is not what I want
There must be more than this office we haunt
Sheet that we wear with holes cut out for eyes
Chains that we rattle in hopes of surprise
To scare other people, to awe and to shock
I’ve tried it a while, but I think it’s a crock
So give me my severance I’m dropping this mike
Time to see what the free in freelance feels like

You want to hold my hand but I’d rather fold my hand

I said you’ve not found new employment
decided you’d rather be your own boss
I caution it’s not all that business school says
plus your contract’s got a non-compete clause

You said you hoped it would not come to this
That nobody’s reputation would be destroyed
But our pact was broken by last year’s liaison
That overseas overture left us null and void
