Long Lunch - The Herd

Top dog settled at Kirribilli house

Give me a can of kerosene and it get liberally doused

Miserable louts

You made my home a target for terrorists

And we created wealth and then we see you not sharing it

You be staring down the barrel of some pissed off youths

If you hypocrites on fire they wouldn’t piss on you

They saw you and your cronies all rortin' the system

So they rort the dole and asked what’s the fuckin' difference?

Only a couple of million not counting the super

And then if you want less than 50G you out of the loop

Like the rich you got the better tax accountants

Like the ones who made a molehill out of Packer’s mountains

So for six years counting I haven’t paid a cent

And if my HECS debt hit I couldn’t pay the rent

Don’t forget that these cunts who got a free education

Are the same ones that talk of mutual obligation

Lay back and take the pay packet

Top dogs all play the same bracket

Long lunches, cars and hotels

The boss don’t know so don’t tell

Lay back and take the pay packet

Top dogs all play the same bracket

Long lunches, cars and hotels

The boss don’t know so don’t tell

He rode the elevator to the seventh floor

Sweaty palms, collar tight as he walked into the board room

Trying to look convincing in his in fitting suit

He took his place before the panel for the job interview

Now how could you contribute the questions game

He’s only in it for the loot but he’s still playin the game

And telling them, what they wanted to hear

Bout how the advertised appointment was his dream career

The office monkey, he got the job

Prey partition, grey desk, grey suit, grey hair, grey position

Great hustles, he had the promos in the post

After hours photocopying the flyers for shows

Long distance phone calls international faxes

But soon enough his actions caught his manager’s eye

Written warning, last chance he was put on probation

Fine fire me he said but think about the piece your taking when you

Lay back and take the pay packet

Top dogs all play the same bracket

Long lunches, cars and hotels

The boss don’t know so don’t tell

Lay back and take the pay packet

Top dogs all play the same bracket

Long lunches, cars and hotels

The boss don’t know so don’t tell

(Frankly, I’m just about sick to death of it

There’s no corruption story

I’m not gonna step down I’m not gonna resign there’s nothing

There’s nothing there

I’m not gonna resign anyway over a good deed

There’s no corruption, it’s simply an act of good faith)

Look me in the eye and say you never saw it coming

Imaged by our good will hunting

By any means nothing

We stand tall but my minimum wage keeps cutting

You wedge me in and expect me to watch you keep cutting

Dolph Lundgren mixed with Mr. Ricky Gervais

You can consider this a tribute to the shit that you pay

Casual rates, evict us, shutting the drapes

Lower the conditions no one even feels for the place

You can have your caviar man I’ll keep my crumbs

Paycheques that pay salary I’ll manually add sums

So bang your hand drum, take production offshore

But John will stop falls through cracks in the shop floor

What, you’re wanting me to be loyal to this chain?

This bullshit name paying me this short change?

People, have their revenge range

You know what I’m saying we speak the same

Lay back and take the pay packet

Top dogs all play the same bracket

Long lunches, cars and hotels

The boss don’t know so don’t tell

Lay back and take the pay packet
