THE DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
Mick Farren

I HAVE AN AR15
AND FOUR BOXES
OF TWO TWENTY THREE
HIGH VELOCITY HOLLOW POINTS
AND I HAVE QUITE A LOT OF DEMEROL
LEFT OVER FROM MY HERNIA SURGERY
AND A PINT OF HIRAM WALKER'S TEN HIGH
SO I WILL FEEL NO PAIN
WHEN THE SHOOTING STARTS

AND I AM GOING
TO THE PLANT
TOMORROW MORNING
TO WASTE
AS MANY OF THE SONS OF BITCHES
AS I CAN
BEFORE THEY WASTE ME

I AM THE DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
I AM THE NEW FACE OF LABOUR RELATIONS

SINCE THEY BROKE THE UNION
WE'VE TAKEN THREE PAY CUTS
AND GIVEN UP THE PRODUCTIVITY BONUS
AND HALF THE MEDICAL PLAN
AND AFTER DARLENE LEFT
AND TOOK THE KIDS
I STARTED GETTING
TOO MUCH SUGAR IN MY DIET
AND TOO MANY PORK PRODUCTS
AND BEGAN
HAVING CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE JAPANESE GUY
INSIDE THE TEEVEE

AND I AM GOING
TO THE PLANT
TOMORROW MORNING
TO WASTE
AS MANY OF THE SONS OF BITCHES
AS I CAN
BEFORE THEY WASTE ME

I AM THE DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
I AM THE NEW FACE OF LABOUR RELATIONS

LAST FRIDAY
I SPENT EIGHTY SEVEN DOLLARS
PLUS TAX AND TIP
BUYING DINNER AND HARVEY WALLBANGERS
FOR JACKIE KOVACK
AT BIG BILLY'S
STEAK AND LOBSTER BARN
OUT ON I-7
AND AFTERWARDS
SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME SO MUCH
AS A HANDJOB
SAID SHE JUST WANTED
US TO BE FRIENDS
AND THE NEXT DAY
I SAW HER
AND SOME OF THE OTHER WOMEN
FROM QUALITY CONTROL
TALKING AND LAUGHING
OUTSIDE THE FEMALE FACILITY
AND I KNEW THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ME

AND I AM GOING
TO THE PLANT
TOMORROW MORNING
TO WASTE
AS MANY AS THE SONS OF BITCHES
AS I CAN
BEFORE THEY WASTE ME

I AM THE DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
I AM THE NEW FACE OF LABOUR RELATIONS

AND TOMORROW NIGHT
WHEN YOU GET HOME FROM WORK
YOU'LL SEE ME ON TV

I AM THE DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
