Fired from Life Video (MV)

There I was
The pinnacle of modern man
I had clawed all the way to the top of the food chain
Backstabbing and lying ever step along the way
A healthy dollop of pate sat lovingly in a bowl labelled CEO
Alone I sat staring out my double-paned palace
A sickened look struck upon my face
Disgusted in the portrait of my fellow man
I unfasten another notch in my belt
At that very moment
Without warning
My thread was plucked
And everything fades away...
There
Floating down in a beam of light
As if a feather caught in an updraft
My name scribbled in an archaic font
Is that... a pink slip?
Fired from life
My will your sacrifice
Fired from life
Your final breath will suffice
Lay down in your plot and let it go
Oh no
Fired from life
No severance ain't it nice?
Fired from life
Final sale cut to half price
Still I don't think anyone will pay
So get into the can it's garbage day
Now you see, we'll start the show
You stand before this tribunal
And I, of course, the impresario
Will guide the way so here we go
The charges laid so bland it seems
Upon the slate not but a vanilla bean
But even still, you weren't that nice
So you've gotten fired and lost you life
But I worked all my life and I paid my dues
Exactly what i was told to do
In collared shirts in glass highrise
I signed and stole and learned to lie
Buddy you see you must be confusing
That homeless chap and the drugs he's abusing
You, the elitist so stuck in your ways?
Complaining about all the taxes you pay?
Just because I never gave them no change
They're on the streets and i'm here to blame?
That's not the point, the point that I make
Now is the time so accept your fate
You see, I fear that you've gotten away
From that moral compass no matter what you say
You turned your back and it's cold as ice
That's gotten you fired, fired from life
Are you trying to say that I'm not caring?
What about my family, who you've forsaken
By taking away their beloved patriarch
Leaving them lonesome and lost in the dark
Your wife you were cheating
Your children were beaten
The only time you were around
Is when you were eating
The list goes on and on
But i'm cutting it short
You're wasting my time
And your family you hurt
Here is my verdict
The final conclusion
Torment of fire
For your life and its burden
But how can it be
That I'm going to hell
I did what I was told
And I did it so well
That was your flaw
You pitiful human
For your sins you'll burn
Forever in seclusion
So shut your trap
And throw the key away
You've been fired from life
So have a nice day
