(performed at Dangerous Man Day 2008, Centennial, Colorado)
Flex time, comp time, overtime, short time
pension’s running dry and my pen’s running out of ink,
wild swings on Wall St., … I wonder would happen if you actually saw a real live bull and real live bear in a cage match on TNT?
early retirement, forced retirement, and golden parachutes,
telecommuting, laptops, smart phones, crack-berries, …
NAFTA, CAFTA,
Euros against the pound against the yen against the dollar,
petro-dollars, narco-dollars, just not enough dollars at the end of the month…
Nikkei, Hong Kong Hang Seng, E-trade, Scott trade,
Schwab’s trading up for the next largest plasma screen…
2nd mortgage HELOC, foreclosure’s changing the door lock
Job security? I no longer believe.
Enter the global economy, and suddenly
we’re competing with people all over the world who just want to work.
Isn’t competition wonderful? Or is it just a fact of life?
and what do you know, Toy-yota is building pick up trucks at a factory in San Antonio, Texas!
“The social contract is shifting,”
says the Society for Human Resource Management.
No kidding!
