I’ve never had a problem dealing with my day-to-day,
No one’s ever questioned why I’m doing things my way,
But now you’re telling me my thinking has to change – is there a reason?
Because now it seems you’ve gone and bought-in to the latest trend,
Lest the ones holding the purse-strings say the good times have to end,
So you’re reading-up McDonald’s brand of not-so-common sense, and I don’t get it - I just don’t get it!
There is no truth in what you’re telling; I’m not buying what you’re selling,
I won’t listen, won’t bear witness, won’t entertain; it’s none of my business,
You call this cynicism; I call it realism,
Buzz words won’t make me richer; glad I can’t see the bigger picture…
You’re faithful to the process, dedicated to your art,
Emerge from meetings after sixteen weeks, and feeling smug and smart,
But the answer you arrived at I’d suggested at the start – you wouldn’t have it…
The spark of inspired genius is now against the rules,
You can no longer state the obvious; you must use all the tools,
And armed with diagrams and acronyms your empire marches on, and you become a robot,
I fucking hope not!
There is no truth in what you’re telling; I’m not buying what you’re selling,
I won’t listen, won’t bear witness, won’t entertain; it’s none of my business,
You call this cynicism; I call it realism,
Buzz words won’t make me richer; I’m keeping out the way of the bigger picture…
The modern workplace has this stigma – 5S; Kaizen; Lean Six Sigma,
Some are attracted to it, and others like me will see right through it,
They think they’ve bought a bargain, drawn in by this mindless jargon,
Overpriced and overrated; in five years time it’ll be outdated…
There is no truth in what you’re telling; I’m not buying what you’re selling,
I won’t listen, won’t bear witness; don’t look at me, because it’s none of my business,
You call this cynicism; I call it realism,
Buzz words won’t make me richer; I never want to see the bigger picture…
You call this cynicism; I call it realism,
Buzz words won’t make me richer; I never want to see the bigger picture…
