I asked them for a pay rise, but all I got were high fives.

lyrics

Got myself a cool new job
Not sure about the pay yet, but the website looks hot
They’ve got a treehouse in reception and an office dog
Free pizza on a Friday, it’s the coolest job

Cool job
Doesn’t pay market rate but the parties are so great
Cool job
Give up evenings and weekends, it’s ok cos we’re all friends

Got myself a cool new job
Everybody says it’s the perfect fit
Doing good work is it’s own reward
And I get to wear my trainers when presenting to the board

Cool job
Open minded and progressive, share too much and you’ll regret it
Cool job
We love women and minorities, but white men in authority

Work on Saturday, for no extra pay
Give up your holiday, because we’re all the same
Except we’re not, except we’ll never be
Except we’re not, you make much more than me

Feeling sad in my cool new job
The lack of any structure means I’m feeling lost
We’re mostly fun and awesome but the vibe is off
Don’t think I can complain though, can’t upset the boss

Cool job
You think that you’re supported, don’t expect to be rewarded

Cool job
I asked them for a pay rise, but all I got were high fives

Cool job
If the atmosphere feels toxic that just means that you have lost it

Cool job
And when we say it’s over, we’ll pretend that we don’t know you.
