BEAN COUNTER Lyrics

In answer to the question about the groove this song is based on here
is a rough version. I'm not sure if it's right nor not. It's possibly I've made
it (the chorus especially) needlessly over-complicated. It's probably quite simple
for someone who can actually play a bit.

[And so on for all the verses]

Now we're in the clouds working overtime for our pay
Countin' the numbers and being the bugs that eat each other today

Sitting in an office in a publishing house
Or in a big company working a computer clicking a mouse

Pulling up your file checking your sales
Meeting those quotas and accommodating voters that's the holy grail

CHORUS
Am C D D7 Dsus2 A9
Cos it's a bean counter and if that don't fill you with terr or
Am C D D7 Dsus2 A9
Bean counter. Takin' the human out of the human err or

In a glass tower uptown or downtown
She's workin' every hour runnin' through your contract writing your deficit down
She's downsizing everything including her brain
Snackin
