Lack of Funding Blues
by the Ravin' Mama Hopkins Blues Band
Got a big idea, ain't got no cash
Say they're talking change, but they really talking trash
Want innovation, wanna do it on the cheap
Planned a big event, innovation jamboree
Stock price dropped, and they want it for free
Can't go on this way, they ain't got a clue
Give them lots of ideas, all they give me is bad news
Got the lack of funding blues, the lowdown lack of funding blues
So much craziness here, gotta take my leave
Too much deception, don't know what to believe
Bought myself a Harley hog, gonna drive on outta here
Info Overload Blues
from the Go Mo' Slow Mamas
Fast Company, please
Won't you please slow down?
You're makin' my head
Spin round and round
Too much to know to stay in the flow
I gotta let go. I gotta let go
Innovation Inhibition Blues
from the Global Groaners
Got a call today
They had something new to say
Out with the old
In with the new
They look to me
I don't know what to do
I've got the Innovation Inhibition Blues
Just when we thought
We were off the hook
The CEO
Went and read a book
I thought we were done
Looks like we have jut begun
I've got the Innovation Inhibition Blues
Dot.com blues
Keeping today going while planning
For tomorrow
If I can't get it straight,
I'll hang my head in sorrow
Losing all my resources-to the left
And to the right
Carrying the load during the day-and
Crying all night
Refrain:
Things are changing-old economy
To new.
I'm fully overloaded, got the
Dot.com blues.
My bandwidth is too narrow, the
Bits and bytes
I ain't got anything that's going rite
I want a T1 honey in every port
Can't get it done-gotta re-do
My expense report
Refrain:
Things are changing-old economy
To new.
I'm fully overloaded, got the
Dot.com blues.
The Disrespected, Disconnected, Out-of-Focus Blues
It's the same ole story-I end up
Pigeon-holed
It's the same ole story-I end up
Pigeon-holed
When they gonna realize-I'm
Worth my weight in gold.
Feelin' disconnected--travelin'
Far & wide
Feelin' disconnected-travelin'
Far & wide
With all the things I've seen &
Heard--I should be their guide.
They say we got no focus --But
Baby, that ain't true
They say we got no focus--But
Baby, that ain't true
My vision's 20/20! They just
Aint' got no clue!
We got that disrespected,
Disconnected, of-focus blues
We got that disrespected,
Disconnected, of-focus blues
And, if you don't believe us
Shove it up your sweet wazoo.
Finger Pointin' Blues TM
from the Twisted Pistols
My kid needs help with homework
And I just don't have the time
The keeps blamin' me for this
And it's drivin' me to wine
I got the blues
I got the Finger Pointin' Blues
My hands are gettin' numb
I got the Finger Pointin' Blues
The issues that I'm facin'
Seem so clear to me
There's an elephant in the conference room
That nobody wants to see.
I went last week to C2K
And whaddya think I see
For every finger I point out
There's three more back at me
Hidden Agenda Blues
by the Moral Minority
Been on three months now
I'm caught in the middle of two
My ethics and morals are getting'
Completely screwed
Their hidden agendas
They're brazenly bold
I'm like stink on a monkey
Or so I've been told
Wallowing in unconsciousness
By the upper hand and
Tight corporate hold
I'd like to slap the bitch in her face
With a chilled jello mold
Hidden agendas, you only lose
Hidden agendas
I've got the hidden agenda bluesssss
No Corporate Blues Pink Band
We're free agents, ain't got
No corporate blues
We are free agents, ain't got
No corporate blues
No cubicle-it is, we've paid our
Company dues
I woke up this evening still
Had my pajamas on
I woke up this evening still
Had my pajamas on
Decided to change the video
Conference to audio
Ain't Walkin' the Talk Blues
My boss got a "new idea": communicate 'two ways'
Oh, my boss got a new idea; communicate two ways
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the pay
"Nobody ask me a question." That's what he likes.
"Nobody ask me a question." That's what he likes.
He says if you don't like it, you can take a hike.
Despite his high level schoolin' that taught him
"Walk-the talk."
Despite his high level schoolin' that taught him
"Walk-the talk."
Spent 40 thousand $--what a waste of chalk.
"Road Kill on the Information Superhighway"
Opened my e-mail, it's
Completely out of hand.
Opened my e-mail, it's
Completely out of hand.
I don't want to delete it
'cause I can't get it back again.
Got another e-mail, this one's
From I.T.
Got another e-mail, this one's
From I.T.
To tell me there's too much
Of it--makes no sense to me!
The one that really slays me is
From the cube next door.
The one that really slays me is
From the cube next door.
Hoaxes, virus warnings, and
A touch of porn--hard core!
"The Demotivation Blues"
by the Demotivation Divas
You say you want this, but you're
rewarding that
You say you want this, but you're
rewarding that
Expect me to pull a rabbit right
Out of my hat
I slave all day just to make a living
I slave all day just to make a living
You don't seem to care just how much
I'm giving.
I get ideas and no one cares
I get ideas and no one cares
I got plans nobody else shares
I got the demotivation blues
I got nothin' left to lose
Don't tell me your good news
I've got the demotivation blues!!
