Head of the Operators (Rat Race) Lyrics v1

VERSE 1:
Seven fifty-five, you're alive, you're online
And you click reply-all, you're really on the ball
Gotta look smart and keen, all your metrics are green
And your future's plain to see, you're a rising star
In this com-pa-ny

CHORUS:
You're the Head of the Operators
You're the Head of the Operators
Take it all in your stride
Don't look left, don't look right
At all the burnouts and failures
Don't you kno~w
We've lost co~ntrol
When all we really want is status

VERSE 2:
Your manager's been giving the notion
That you might be looking at promotion
Don't you kno~ow?
But first you gotta show willing
To cut every penny and shilling
Tell that dead wood-to-go

CHORUS:
You're the Head of the Operators
You're the Head of the Operators
Take it all in your stride
Don't look left, don't look right
At all the burnouts and failures
Don't you kno~w
We've lost co~ntrol
When all we really want is status

BRIDGE:
You're the Head of International
Development and Capital
HR and Cash Flow
Pay-per-click and Video
CIO and MVP
Of the brand and B-U-D

You've got the keeeey
To the washroom
The exeeecutive washroom
And I know that means a gre~at deal
To you
And you see there in the mirror
How your hair is getting thinner
And your eyes just aren't the same old shade of blue
(You know it's true you know that)

CHORUS
You're the Head of the Operators
You're the Head of the Operators
Take it all in your stride
Don't look left, don't look right
At all the burnouts and failures
Don't you kno~w
We've lost co~ntrol
When all we care about
And all we dream about
And all we sing about
('Shave and a haircut' motif)

BRIDGE 2:
The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat
The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat
The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat
The problem with the rat race
('Shave and a haircut' motif)

FINAL CHORUS:
You're the Head of the Operators (The problem with the rat race)
You're the Head of the Operators (is it proves you're a rat)
Take it all in your stride (The problem with the rat race)
Don't look left, don't look right (is it proves you're a rat)
At all the burnouts and failures (The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat)
Don't you kno~w (The problem with the rat race)
We've lost co~ntrol (The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat)
When all we care about (The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat)
And all we dream about (The problem with the rat race is it proves you're a rat)
And all we sing about (The problem with the rat race)
('Shave and a haircut' motif)
