about

This was an entry for SongFight.org. Mike Lebovitz asked me to write these lyrics. The next day he broke his finger, so I ended up writing the music too. My original recording was purposefully played poorly, because I felt the website had devolved into a bunch of hobby musicians who reviewed everybody else's submissions with a thinly veiled "I don't like it because it doesn't sound like me." This recording is better.

Written 12-13 March 2005.

lyrics

Business and pleasure used to mix
but now there's a rule about getting our kicks
it used to be all day they'd herd us like a zoo
but now the company controls our nighttimes too

Never do that, you can't do this
there is one thing, but we wouldn't suggest it
all office romance requires approval
any broken rule brings immediate removal

our love violates policy
our love cannot be seen
our love by the fax machine
our love violates corporate policy


Gotta leave a paper trail of every transaction
from payroll to supplies to bedroom action
when you feel the need to get it going on
you can just as long as you fill out this form

Our love violates policy
our love requires a committee
our love for Sarbanes-Oxley
our love needs form 21B!

Complete this form
make a copy, keep a record
dress up in red tape
if you wanna git nekkid

Have it stamped
by your department head
and don't forget
to use the company bed

we cannot get away with mock compliance
there is a penalty for S-Ox defiance
we both signed a form about company trust
so even if we quit there'd be no pleasure for us

our love violates policy
our love cannot be seen
our love by the fax machine
our love violates corporate policy
