Corporate Joe
Verse 1
I'm back with the same beat told you so this song here's about Corporate Joe
See Joe grew up outside the D Starting digging cars by the age of three
Joe was smart, no ones fool he'd head to college right after school
In a few years he'd have his degree and take a job working for the big 3
Chourus
Corporate Joe Go man go Make some dough Corporate Joe
Verse 2
Joe made all the bosses gladder and climbed right up the corporate ladder
He bought a house that's what Joe did and then got married and had a kid
On the outside sure did seem that our man Joe was living the dream
Little did his family know they'd see a change in Corporate Joe
Chourus
They don't know he might blow Corporate Joe
Bridge 1
Joe was working late but you know he could take it
His kid had a big game but Joe couldn't make it
He says he loves his wife but he just couldn't fake it
Blackberry's ringing loud you know Joe would take it
Chourus
It don't show They don't know he might blow Corporate Joe
Verse 3
Joe was told he'd have to travel in a global market his life unraveled
Living in a different time zone He tried to call but there's no one home
Economy stalled sales hit the skids Joe didn't recognize his kid
He's all grown up become a man while Joe was working in Japan
Chourus
Tokyo On The Go Corporate Joe
Bridge 2
And his family missed Joe when he was gone
He said that he would be back soon Joe was wrong
The days turn into weeks and weeks into years
His family needed Joe but he just wasn't there
Verse 4
Joe got a call from his boss Rob I've got bad news you've lost your job
Plants closing shop and heading to China I'm hoping to find work in Carolina
Joe packed his bags and headed home No one there he's all alone
But on the table was a note It was from his wife here's what she wrote
I've moved in with your best friend Bob He loves his family more than his job
He's always home, he's got a pool, your kid calls him Dad, he's really cool
And after all these lines that Joe read the things he missed words he never said
Joe put a gun up to his head and pulled the trigger now Joes dead
