ACME TIRE FACTORY

 


ACME TIRE FACTORY

The system was so slow to use and the boss was always on our back

Hurry hurry get your fingers out this job depends on you

I’ll fire your sorry arses if you go any damn slower!

My company and big fat profit depend on you lazy gets doing this job right

Don’t dawdle and stop gossiping about your Saturday nights

I’ve checked the order already and it’s only half done and needs to be sent

For that you can work thru your dinner hour without pay and eat after work

See what a good boss I am to you all I will treat you at Xmas

And so it went on day by week by month by year by decade

ACME TIRE FACTORY was always this way with a slave boss

And unhappy pissed off workers who were no better than slaves

Why did we stay in the job when there was the dole doing nothing?

We were all mates and drank together every Saturday to forget this

Plus we also worked deliberately slowly to piss the boss off

We could live without eating dinner when our boss was upset

Our tools and line was ok but outdated so we milked it

It was us who ran the tire factory not him and he knew it

We could shut him down or burn his company without interference

We made 2 out of 3 vehicle tires on North American roads

Why change a good thing when we hated but loved it?
