Corporate Flanking
Business acquisition
Workforce transition
First, they smile
then congratulate
Demanding more hours
you'll be staying late
Little do you know
They've already planned
Your demise, your fate
They bump you up a category
giving you a sensible raise
You make more money
And you think
That's the whole story
But soon they take away
All your projects
Everything you do is
dismissed and rejected
They flank you with their army
wearing warby
And gingham shirts
the generation of power hungry
Outside the pant geeks
You better conform
to their uniform
You are surrounded by
Who they've brought in
Their conversations start
With without further ado
As they escort you out
Like you were a criminal
I know you know it too
Don't overthink it
It's corporate flanking
The machine must
keep on churning
