Realised I forgot this one. It is a re-write of sorts brought out for the FAWM challenge - JOBS - and for me just as true today as when it was penned back in the 80's.

If It’s Not One Thing
(02.01.10)

(V)
Where I work they tell me
to get the merchandise in.
Get the job done on time,
but to do it with fewer men.
That I got to meet their budget,
eliminate over time.
Sometimes believe that this here job
will drop me in my prime.

(Chorus)
If it’s not one thing,
for sure it’s another.
If you can’t see the why,
well, go and ask your mother
As any day goes by
for sure you’ll hear me mutter.
If it’s not one thing
for sure it’s another.

(V)
Where I work there must be
ten bosses to one guy.
And every one is absent
when things fall from the sky.
If you have a problem
you can’t find a single ear.
If there’s a major problem
they all just disappear. (Chorus)

(V)
Where I work they tell me
to follow all the rules.
It’s like tryin’ to do a high dive
into a wadding pool.
They change their minds more often
then me my underwear.
It’s a bloody intuition,
and I’m starting to loose my hair. (Chorus)

Gave me a chuckle, but it's powerful too.

Thanks Vikki. Sad, silly and oh so true.
