song lyrics

03/03/1999


hey! have you ever worked in a silicon sweatshop?
here's an anthem you can relate to (or at least 
i do) from one of my fav musicians, Andrew Beaujon...
I think he wrote this while working at msn sidewalk nyc
go figure,
reid

Three-finger Salute
------------------------------------
I've got the bandwidth to drive 
The issues that I own
But my next job's in the pipeline
'Cause I won't be here for long.

My new dot com is a cold place
Where nobody speaks
But our copious income
Is more valueable than weeks
We got wide distribution
And we're leveraging our brands
Burning lots of cycles
Ramp up the rock the eyeballs

My new dot com is an icebox
Where the bosses can't be seen
It's important to be numb
It's important to be mean
And the steel floors can't be marked
And the ergonomic chairs
Adjust to each new user
Were you ever really there?

We've got 12 levels of zoom
But our view's constrained by windows
The size of dainty hands
Which we wave with crippled wrists

And my new dot com is a tundra
A violent frontier
Our 60-hour weeks
Ensure greater market share
And we don't take vacations
And we don't have any peers
And the lies don't test our patience
'Cause we're all temps here

It's all about,                  Could you be why I'm feeling so sad?
