Background Information
This song’s from a very personal experience. Someone I saw who worked in Corporate America told me he was working 65 to 70 hours
a week mandated by the corporation and he still could not keep up to it all.They wanted to get him out of there so they could hire someone younger for $20,00 less.Two weeks later he took
his own life.
They got what they wanted.
This song’s for you John.
Lyrics
Intro
Day by Day One by One
You do their work till you get it done
Verse 1
They hire you and fire you
When they tire of you One by One
They’ll put you to the wall
And make you crawl One by One
Corporate America hail to the chief
Little red riding hood’s really a thief
They’ll say what they want
And want what they say
And put you out the door
On judgment day
Chorus
One by One by One by One
Corporate America One by One
One by One by One by One
You do their work till you get it done
Verse 2
Day by day you do what they say
You do it One by One
Pound by pound they’ll twist you around
They’ll twist you One by One
Corporate America hail to the cheese
Bow down your head and get on your knees
And do what your told and you won’t get sold
For 30 pieces of silver or gold
Chorus
Bridge
Corporate America having fun
Corporate America blocking out the sun
Corporate America getting it done
One by One
Verse 3
Hour by Hour they got the power
They got it One by One
Inch by inch they’ll squeeze you in a pinch
They’ll squeeze you One by One
Corporate America hail to the boss
CEO’s profit and loss
Pagers lawyers suits and ties
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
Chorus
LITTLE RED BUS
