It’s stupid, itchy suits, and just plain ugly shoes,
For all employees young and old.
Except for him that’s me, I’m always dress code free,
Why I’ve never really been told.

Look scary all week through, is all I have to do,
To earn the check that pays my bills.
So they dealt me a name, perfectly for my game,
Since then working’s been one big thrill.

They say…
Mr. Corporate Scarecrow,
“Hay man” So how is it going.
Mr. Corporate Scarecrow,
Handling the city folk crowing?
I got to give it to you, didn’t think you’d see it through.
Well, whose on tomorrows show,
Mr. Corporate Scarecrow.

Feeling uncomfortable in that suit?

Let me tell you something...
I know for a fact...
that those that fight it too long?

Find it strangely comforting years later...

and once they make it?

They can go anywhichway they want...



You've been gone awhile...welcome HOME!
