HEY SUPERVISOR

Hey, supervisor
who went and put the Huns
in charge of the Parthenon?
Hey, supervisor
who decided that the decent
folk'd have to be movin' on?
And, you know, it's suprisin'
how comfortable you look
when all the morale here's gone

And, hey, didn't that woman
warn last month
about that guy and his temper?
And, hey look, there he goes again,
foamin' at the mouth
like he's got distemper,
and, hey look,
every blue suit in
this place lined up
to beg that woman's
forgiveness and whimper,
and tell me,
how many more pretty young things
out on midsummer-night flings'll
have to get mugged
or scared out their hide
'cuz we got no light outside,
and tell me,
will it take findin'
somebody dead to put
some sense into your head

Hey, supervisor
who went and put the Huns
in charge of the Parthenon?
Hey, supervisor
who decided that the decent
folk'd have to be movin' on?
And, you know, it's suprisin'
how comfortable you look
when all the morale here's gone

So, tell me, how did you
get that title, man?
Whose head did you
put in the boss's hand?
Hass'lin folks til
they've had enough,
rattin' folks out
and settin' folks up,
and when I see that
little red light glowin'
I don't stop, I
just keep on goin',
and you can keep that
executive washroom key,
I don't want that
damn thing dirtyin' me
'cuz I know, I know
what it takes to get
ahead around here,
the more notches in
your belt the nicer
the pin you wear


Hey, supervisor
who went and put the Huns
in charge of the Parthenon?
Hey, supervisor
who decided that the decent
folk'd have to be movin' on?
And, you know, it's suprisin'
how comfortable you look
when all the morale here's gone,
yeah, you know, it's suprisin'
how comfortable you look
when all the morale here's gone
