THE SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN LYRICS

"Rip 'Em Off"

Has the man got you down? No revolution lies ahead
Working at a register till all day - Well it makes you want to kill
But there's no blood to be found on the street outside, or in a retail chain
Instead steal goods from the stockroom each and each and every day

They're stealing all your time
So what are you gonna do?
Rip 'em off, Rip 'em off
'Cause they're doing it to you

Rows and rows of cubes and desks sapping all your energy
Always watching you like a hawk, no way to get away
They think you should be honored to be working in the their office world
Instead steal all their trade secrets and sell them to another firm

They're stealing all your time
So what are you gonna do?
Rip 'em off, Rip 'em off
'Cause they're doing it to you

Assembly line work on the factory floor, packing cartons eight to six
Forty years all ahead of you, conditions make you sick
Put a dead rat in a can a day, while the foremans turned around
Consumers will all soon revolt, and drive the business into the ground

They're stealing all your time
So what are you gonna do?
Rip 'em off, Rip 'em off
'Cause they're doing it to you
