Ok Go - Here It Goes Again
Bean Counter
Graham Parker
has come a long way
Out of the mud where chitinous bugs
eat each other all day
Now we're in the clouds working overtime for our pay
Countin' the numbers and being the bugs that eat each other today
Sitting in an office in a publishing house
Or in a big company working a computer clicking a mouse
Pulling up your file checking your sales
Meeting those quotas and accommodating voters that's the holy grail
Cos it's a bean counter and if that don't fill you with terr or
Bean counter. Takin' the human out of the human err or
In a glass tower uptown or downtown
She's workin' every hour runnin' through your contract writing your deficit down
She's downsizing everything including her brain
Snackin' on potato chips smackin' her lips lickin' her pencil again
From Wall Street to Hong Kong. Chinee to Chancery Lane
You're being rubber stamped your style is being cramped. It all comes out the same
They're not being paid to think. That's not the idea
And they never run out of red ink, get that particularly clear
Snackin' on potato chips givin' you a scan
Deleting your account phasing you out in the trash can
Now if you don't meet projections. If there ain't enough zeroes involved
You'll get stamped rejections and then that problem is solved
