Five-Minute Notice
"You cannot win an argument with an ignorant person." -- Richard F. Gorsky
Pardon my smile that spans the ocean.
And I don’t want to cause too much commotion.
So, let me be brief and then I’ll be gone.
But do I really need to lay this all down?
For I’ve already booked my ticket outbound.
Because what I’ve seen around here takes the cake.
For I know it's not my business,
Albeit one in a total blackout.
A flightless bird, if you will, with its head deep in the sand.
I see egos so foul who growl unable to see beyond the fallout.
You know I tried to help, but every suggestion I made was canned.
It’s no wonder we’re damned now.
‘Been hearing all this talk of yardage.
Maybe you’ve been measuring with garbage.
Your future is bleak at best; sorry to say.
I went along with every stupid plan.
You had my full cooperation
Even though I knew they weren’t right things to do.
And now you’re bound to have some questions on
How we can improve operations.
Well, you can send them along, but don’t be surprised if I say, “Fuck You”
‘Cause you know, I’m through here!
Well, we didn’t do things my way.
Instead we took the nowhere highway.
Better get out now before you all shit your pants.
We’re past the woulda-shoulda-coulda song and dance.
That’s my five minute notice because you had your chance.
