(Verse 1) Fluorescent lights in a basement room Power-tripping parasites plotting our doom The chiller is bleeding, the elevator’s dead But they’re writing a citation about a potted plant instead Clipboards clutched like a loaded gun Spitting out fines just to spoil the fun They don’t care about the mould or the leaking pipe They just live for the power and the bureaucratic hype! (Chorus) Condo board bastards, drowning in their tea! Playing God in the lobby, blind as they can be! Compliance theatre! Paperwork pride! While the whole damn building is rotting inside! Hey! Ho! Fix the fucking heat! Get your useless clipboards off our street! (Verse 2) The water’s shut off for the third time this week I haven’t had a shower and the ceiling’s got a leak But look out windows, here comes the czar An administration asshole who’s taken it too far "There’s a cigarette butt on patio four! That’s a fifty-dollar fine and a threat at your door!" They measure the curtains, they spy on the deck While the infrastructure is a structural wreck! (Chorus) Condo board bastards, drowning in their tea! Playing God in the lobby, blind as they can be! Compliance theatre! Paperwork pride! While the whole damn building is rotting inside! Hey! Ho! Fix the fucking heat! Get your useless clipboards off our street! (Bridge) Walk ten flights of stairs just to get to my flat Sweating through my leather, yeah, they love us like that They lock the budget down, say the coffers are dry But they hire a consultant for the color of the sky! Dictators of the hallway! Tyrants of the lease! When will this administrative nightmare cease?! (Guitar Solo - Fast, chaotic, screeching feedback) (Chorus) Condo board bastards, drowning in their tea! Playing God in the lobby, blind as they can be! Compliance theatre! Paperwork pride! While the whole damn building is rotting inside! Hey! Ho! Fix the fucking heat! Get your useless clipboards off our street! (Outro) Balcony inspection? REJECTED! Cigarette citation? REJECTED! Fix the chiller! Fix the lift! Take your rubber stamp and drift! Admin assholes! Go to hell! We’re tearing down your hotel! (Screamed) FILE THAT! (Feedback fades out)
