Face the Music Lyrics
The Acronym Blues

My CEO is a VIP,
He just got back from his EKG,
His IPO is DOA,
Got a heart of gold but feet of clay,
He's an MBA who wants more R&D
What he does for fun is a mystery,
He's into TQM, he's into JIT,
He's into UFO's, eats at KFC.

What can I do? What can I do about him?
Got no words to describe, just some acronyms.

He likes his BB King,
Needs some TLC
He's paid his dues, but to the AARP,
His food is fast, but his mind is slow
Watches the bottom line like it's HBO.

What can I do? What can I do about him?
Got no words to describe, just some acronyms.

My CEO drives an SUV,
He shops all night on the QVC,
He's AKA an SOB,
Goes to AA meetings on LSD,
Watches CNN, watches NBC,
Watches CBS in his BVDs,
This VIP I must confess
Can't find his desk without a GPS.

What can I do? What can I do about him?
Got no words to describe, just some funky acronyms.
