The Achiever (song)

Does it give you some pleasure?
Does it make you happy?
The little white badge with your employee I.D
Tied to your neck, that black satin tie
The mirrored shoes and frameless eye?

You're so great, you're an achiever
You're so cool, oh aren't you a winner?
you're better, you're better, oh you're so much better
than the rest of the world!

Do you feel fulfilled?
feel important and special?
the six bold figures on your pay-check!
Your briefcase, gate passes and CCTV
The log in and passwords- High security!

You're so great. you're an achiever.
You're so cool, oh aren't you a winner?
King of your floor, duke of your staff
You're the ruler, the ruler, the greatest ruler
of your cubicle.

When you were little, you knew you were special,
would change the world, and be remembered for ever.
Schooling killed you, education was lethal.
Now you're rich and the world is the same,
So you know,
That you're the mighty achiever!

I hope you're ecstatic
I hope you're happy
With your leave schedule and company policy
faceless existence and community living
And the two bedroom flat in a posh colony!

You're so great, you're an achiever
You're so cool, oh aren't you a winner?
you're better, you're better, oh you're so much better
than the rest of the world!

Hi...nice one...you shud write more... and i m saying this keeping in mind that writting arrives from somwhere... so does poetry... probably from some inner catharsis of sorts... it takes form of words/ actions or even something intangible... so keep writting!
