We are born
young and innocent
We just want to soak up
all the world around us
We want to learn
want to laugh, want to feel loved
We learn to crawl, learn to move
for ourselves

We start to grow up
We make new friends
We learn what it is to adapt
We learn to add and to subtract
we learn to read,
we learn what we should say
to make the other kids like us
We learn who to make fun of
In order not to be made fun of ourselves
We learn the right clothes to wear
We learn the right emotions to feel and show

And then we grow up
we get a job
we make the money so we can have
a place to live and food to eat
And we're promoted at that job
and we make more money
and we fall in love and life is pretty great
And we're promoted again
and now we've got this life thing figured out
we're on the fast track to success
And with our new position
We've gotta fire employees
those fucking under-performers
just fucking fire them all

And the CEOs
that were born into money
and born into power
or learned greed
They fire you
"What an under-performer"
and sell the business
But we all grow old
All of the under-performers
all of the CEOs
And we face ourselves
no matter who we are or what we did
the curtain closes
