People Are Shadows

from Spaceship Toga Party by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Push up the work rate, cameras are on
Meet productivity or be disposed of
Everyone’s scanner keeps them well tracked
Each task is on countdown, no need to panic

CHORUS
See the happy parcels
Singing all the way to you (People are shadows x2)
See the happy parcels
Who knows how they do it (People are Shadows x2)

No talking to people none in the same aisle
Get caught not scanning you get a write up
Workforce data to analyse
I don’t own the humans but the data is all mine

CHORUS

So many places hit by recession
When I built my warehouse fulfilment centres
Don’t think of your job as that which deprives
Not hours worked but energy provided


Work/life balance a misleading phrase
Should it really be such a strict trade-off
Don’t ignore safety rules to make rate
Or piss in a bottle for your toilet break

CHORUS
