Office Jungle

[Verse] Looking up the ladder, no applause, Effort bled to death, call it the cause, Ancient scrolls I read, knowledge in my claws, But they dance smoothly, deceivers with their faults. (Verse 2) Cardboard men in suits, loud roar, Their words are empty, crumbs on the floor, I speak facts, a scholar through and through, But the louder you shout, the more they worship you. (Refrain.) Office jungle, the mirage in the mirror, Work hard, they reach for the shiny scissors, Cheaters climb high, climb with their quiver, The truth is drowned out by the noisy river. (Verse 3) Meetings are arenas, gladiators fight, Reason against bravado, can't see the light, Logic in the dungeon, rhetoric gets the crown, Stupid talkers and narcissists, I do no more than frown. [Bridge] Sleepless nights in which I think about every line, They speak nothing, and yet they shine, Fighting shadows, a battle so cruel, Phrases and exaggeration, that's their fuel. [Verse 4] Strategy is a chessboard, pawns in their place, Their ignorance puts a smile on their face, Led by the blind, elephants in the race, My wisdom erodes, vanishes without a trace.
