Emotional Bureaucracy


Words and Music by Doug Osborne


according to the laws of supply and demand, we have to pay for what we get

what’s inside of me has been underemployed and lately it wants to expand

well you’re placing a lien on my heart and sending it down to accounting

since you can’t believe my feelings, they’ll tell you to what they’re amounting


emotional bureaucracy is the game that’s between you and me

emotional bureaucracy is all red tape as far as I can see

can you see all the good in me through this emotional bureaucracy?


you approached my approaching laissez faire when I tried to get past your aides

you referred me to the vice president but he was gone for lunch in Park Square

I’m citing you for violation of my codes but not breaking off negotiations

I’m looking for the end of this episode tonight with anticipation


emotional bureaucracy…


I’ve been elected

resurrected

pro rated

consecrated

appointed

annointed


emotional bureaucracy…
