Downsizing

Color balloons, an appreciative handshake
If that counts as severance then don’t waste your breath
We gave our times to a company planning our death
Well, it’s a new challenge my family hasn’t yet met
I’ve sat at this desk and tried to be honest
22 years with these men on the line
Record? s? set profits, then how’s this a sign of the times?
(Jian and Mike)
I won’t tell my wife, I will work it out
Things will be fine

It’s not the end…
Of these working man’s days
(Jian)
Make up your mind and make me a statistic
Make a production machine? had it debt?
Cast the man out, too, now, making a living regret
(Jian and Mike)
Well, some build their fortunes on others who
Build what they get

I picture myself
With all of your freedom to choose
Yeah…
Do you picture yourself?
With all of your wealth you can use
(Jian)
Step into my shoes…
Bastard

(Jian)
Don’t hold your breath
But don’t hold out your hand
Hold your head up and be brave to a man
Some day they’ll lose something worse
And then they’ll understand
(Jian and Mike)
For now we just pick up our things
And find work where we can
