capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherIntro
Verse 1
In the boardroom the quiet man takes a second to think what to do
He's out of his seat and he's starting to speak and he hears his own voice
For years and years he's done nothing but bow down, and put up with all their demands
She sits like a viper and offers the clock, without giving a damn... he takes it
"Honour forbids me, but honour be damned, you have whined till you got what you want
I did the work and when things would go badly you left us to rot"
Interlude
Verse 2
He locked the door of the boardroom and turned, like the scene from the old country song
Towering over the table he's lost, he is drunk with it all
"You only came back to us when we'd turned it around, when we'd rescued your arse from the fire
Your contribution to all that we did was to say it was dire"
Interlude
Verse 3
"Night after day after night I've been working, despite of you fucking us all
Now I'm going to die, I don't care if you cry, just please leave me alone... and spare those
Tears for yourself, we've had those 'till we're sick, you should leave while you still have the chance"
The others were shocked at this shameful disgrace at the end of an honoured career
He paused in the silence to pull down his tie and observe the melee
