LYRICS:
Should we not steal this stage
to speak our piece,
(Hear, Hear!)
Since day by day
our fortunes but decrease?
(My sentiments exactly! Quite right!)
For art gone mad
this company's gone broke.
Our corp'rate image
falters 'neath the yoke
(So true, upon my word!) of
Ind'lent artists,
(Terrible!)
Doting A & R,
(Scandalous!)
Publicity that's seldom up to par,
Creative Services that don't create,
And a sales force that gave
Poor John and Frank the gate.
And now all hope has lapsed,
Much too tired to strive against
That day, that dreadful day
Which shortly shall arrive.
The day of reckoning,
beyond a doubt,
So, Goddard, sell your shares
and bail us out.
