The Divine Comedy – Office Politics lyrics
[Verse 1]
Intern chokes on his gooseberry fool
Consternation in the typing pool
Press the flesh, do the deal
Book your place on the hamster wheel
See that PowerPoint presentation
Worthy of a BAFTA nomination
Zero hours, maximum pressure
You know what they say about business and pleasure

[Verse 2]
Sir Hillary looks at them all and sighs
Closes up the Venetian blinds
He made his fortune on the horses
Using the rules of market forces
He’s got his eye on a chap named Knox
Sell his granny for some high yield stocks
Always thinks outside the box
Always wears hilarious socks

[Chorus]
Office politics, office politics
Office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office politics

[Verse 3]
Christine thinks of the Christmas party
Martini after Martini
William tried but there was no stopping her
Taking a ride on the photocopier
‘Live for now, bugger the future!’
Thus spake Zara Brewster
She put the snaps on her Facebook page
And got sacked the following day

[Chorus]
Office politics, office politics
Office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office politics

[Verse 4]
Sir Hillary sighs, recalls the days
You could use your position to get your way
Now put your hand where it shouldn’t be
And soon you’ll be on indefinite leave
No use now for the old school tie
Only the greedy need apply
Another intern chokes on his gooseberry fool
Mild amusement in the typing pool

[Chorus]
Office politics, office politics
Office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office politics

[Outro]
Office politics, office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office
