about

Dans cette chanson, un pervers narcissique vous parle. Il devrait être professionnel, au lieu de cela il vous fait subir son “mode enfant”. Donc s'il vous plaît, soyez un esclave de ses conseils orgueilleux et remarques pleines de sous-entendus venimeux, ou vous vous ferez botter les fesses tous les jours pour des raisons insignifiantes. Même si vous êtes bon dans ce que vous faites. Surtout si vous êtes bon dans ce que vous faites! Le harcèlement moral au travail est une plaie de notre temps...

In this song, a narcissistic pervert is talking to you. He should be professionnal, but he makes you suffer his “childish ways” instead. So please, be a slave to his proud advice and remarks full of venomous innuendo, or you'll have your butt kicked every day for insignificant reasons. Even if you are good at what you do. Especially if you are good at what you do! Moral harassment at work is a plague of our times ...

lyrics

Be a slave to my advice
Or I will break you neat and nice
Smile and cash
You won't mess in my tame team
You've such a sin to redeem
I will lash

They won't stop praising your joy
But I'm the cutest little boy
And send you back the angst I feel
Let's talk of hard and softwares
They keep me safe from matters
My exact science is ruling still

Be a slave to my advice
Or I will break you neat and nice
And I will lash
Kiss my navel in a white dream
You've such a sin to redeem
Smile and cash

They won't stop needing you here
Could you try to disappear
They won't stop praising your joy
When I'm the cutest little boy
They won't stop telling you're good
Debrief at noon, leave your food
They won't stop needing you here
Could you try to disappear

They won't stop praising your joy
But I'm the cutest little boy
And send you back the angst I feel
Let's talk of hard and softwares
They keep me safe from matters
My exact science is ruling still

Could you try to disappear...

(robotic voice:)
You're teaching me nothing.
Do you know that we think sometimes?
Indeed you'll have to produce a justificative for your absence.
Everything worked fine during your last absence you know.
Anyway, the job you're doing is not so complicated.
Sorry but you'll have to keep on taking calls, while we're having a drink with your colleague.
Of course I'll never notice the clients positive feedback about your work.
I don't care if you never prevent your colleague from choosing august each summer.
I don't care if you never spend a day without smiling, laughing and making anyone else smile and laugh.
Sorry, I'm gonna have to punish you.
I always tell everyone you're a toxic element.
You're teaching me nothing.
Could you try to disappear?
Do you know that we think sometimes?
Could you try to disappear?
Indeed you'll have to produce a justificative for your absence.
Could you try to disappear?
Everything worked fine during your last absence you know.
Could you try to disappear?
Anyway, the job you're doing is not so complicated.
Could you try to disappear?
Of course I'll never notice you're a hardworker.
Could you try to disappear?
Sorry, I'm gonna have to punish you.
I always tell everyone you're a toxic element.
