Far From Sucking

By Steve Durand

I tried to climb the corporate ladder
Working hard to get ahead
But the fat cats just got fatter
And I got more work instead

So I went to ask my mentor
What's the secret of success?
He said get behind your boss
And press your lips firmly to his ass

Oooooo, Living in the corporate world
Oooooo, Living in the corporate world

It can be oh, so stressful
To be a yes man all the time
And your nose gets very brown
When you stick your face where the sun don't shine

But that's how you win the rat race
And escape the maze you're in
You can finally find your cheeze
But you're still a rat even if you win

Oooooo, Living in the corporate world
Oooooo, Living in the corporate world

I need to take vacation
Go somewhere far away
Take a cruise down to Jamaica
Spend some time in Montego Bay

Relaxing by the ocean
Is a perfect antidote
I could sell off my stock options
And buy a fishing boat

Oooooo, Escape the corporate world
Oooooo, Escape the corporate world

I'll turn off my cell phone
Disconnect my laptop too
I'll be incommunicado
My boss won't be able to get through

By then I might get fired
But it's not a total loss
I'll be close to sucking down lots of rum
And far from sucking up to my boss

Oooooo, Escape the corporate world
Oooooo, Escape the corporate world

TMK plays Far From Sucking

My mouth fills with blood
and drips on the pavement
I run my tongue over the gap

I hope you've updated your atlas since last time
When we got some trouble at the Albanian border
How many poeple I wonder think their lives will be changed by
Famous trumpet players an baths of healing water

You've got good thighs for climbing trees
and bring me honey when i don't deserve it
so far from sucking the blood from me
When I'm so far from perfect

The stone I knocked my teeth out on is gone
The cart in which I sat and cried is firewood
and as I walk blind my trainers grip the road
The pungent smell of pulped olives guides me home

You've got good hands for hauling nets and bring me
Fresh sardines when I don't deserve it
So far from sucking the blood form me
when I'm so far from perfect
