Downsizing Songtext
von Moxy Früvous

Color balloons and appreciative handshake
If that counts as severance then don′t waste your breath
We gave our terms to a company planning our death
It's a new challenge my family hasn′t yet met

I've sat at this desk and tried to be honest
Twenty-two years with these men on the line
Records said profits then how's this a sign of the times?
I won′t tell my wife I will work it out, things will be fine

It′s the message we send
Our relevance pales
It's not the end
Of these workingman′s days

Make up your mind and make me a statistic
Make a production machinehead your dad
Cast the man out to now making a living regret
Well some build their fortunes on others who build what they get


It's the message we send
Our relevance pales
It′s not the end
Of these workingman's days

I picture myself with all of your freedom to choose
Do you picture yourself with all of your wealth you can use?
Step into my shoes, Bad News

Don′t hold your breath but don't hold out your hand
Hold your head up and be brave to a man
Someday they'll lose something worse and then they′ll understand
For now we just pick up our things and find work where we can

It′s the message we send
Our relevance pales
It's not the end
Of these workingman′s days
It's the message we send
Our relevance pales
It′s not the end
Of these workingman's days
