Career Suicide (Version 4 Contemporary Country)

(Long Musical Intro)

(Verse 1)
I offered to bring the list to your front door
Names and dates that will hit the open floor
You said, “send it to me by certified mail”
Because the answers will get lost in a grass swale

We’ve been so patient for many many years
While the same rooms breed the same fears
You nod your head like you totally understand
Then you lose it all again with a palm-faced hand

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it an “alignment”
We call it an unnecessary delay
You say “we’re looking into it”
Day after day after day

(Chorus)
Career suicide
For telling the raw absolute truth
Career suicide
When you flaunt the honest proof
Career suicide
You won’t hear the screaming from an adjacent room
Career suicide
We’ll creep into the nucleus of your mind soon

(Verse 2)
The pay stays as thin as barn door glass.                  
Fringe benefits seem to vanish way too fast
You say the market is extremely tight
But, hey man, your bonus looks fine tonight

Workers raise-up your clean hands 
They’re sending a message back to the band
Then we question it and they ask us to “engage”
While they lock-up the conversation in the same old cage

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it an “alignment”
We call it an unnecessary delay
You say “we’re looking into it”
Day after day after day

(Verse 3)
One more meeting today and it’s the same damn script
Same helpless shrugs, same silly boring drip 
You can polish-up that sideways reply
But you can’t bury it even if you tried

We all know what’s now overdue
We all know what you don’t want to do
So keep-up your unforgiving lies
We’re done trying to be positive and nice

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it an “alignment”
We call it an unnecessary delay
You say “we’re looking into it”
Day after day after day

(Long Musical Solos)

(Outro)
You call it a “process”
I call it a reason to stall                                          But you say “let’s settle this later”
Now I’ve absolutely heard it all
