Day after day Week after week Month after month Year after year You've shown the world How not to be an employer Treating your employees like slaves Demeaning them with insults That were way below the belt Denying them their basic pay For which they have braved storms Scaled towering mountain peaks And dived to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean And firing a few of them For no justifiable reason whatsoever Today, however You have sunk to a new low It is bad enough to not pay your employees But to accuse them of not doing their jobs And lie to their faces' That you've been paying them properly Is despicable to the core And goes on to show That you are nothing more Than a rat in the gutter But then, the rat at least deserves to be put out of its misery You, on the other hand Deserve to rot in the confines of Tihar Jail For a very very long time Of course, we all know the famous saying An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind But it applies only to human beings You are not one

Sinking To New Lows
How cruel can you be? How heartless can you be? Every month, every week Every day, every hour Every minute, every second You subject your employees To nothing but abject slavery In the name of hard work In the name of targets But in reality, just to satisfy Your unquenchable thirst for money Your insatiable greed for power How cruel can you be? How heartless can you be? You expect results at the speed of light But you do not provide your employees The necessary resources After all, do you think They are all Harry Houdinis Capable of pulling rabbits out of hats? How cruel can you be? How heartless can you be? Your employees burn the midnight oil And brave Hell for you Some of them are forced to do it Just to make both ends meet And you have the sheer nerve To deny them their pay Which they have so richly earned After weeks and weeks of toil How cruel can you be? How heartless can you be? Mark my words, the time will come When you will pay for your deeds Till now, you have been lucky Fate has been on your side However, things will soon change Your company will be in free-fall You will be in debt With nowhere to turn As your employees will desert you One by one Not even a Houdini can save you then
