Land of the Milkround, Honey
Liner notes
Final year undergrad, it suddenly dawned on me that I was going to have to find a JOB after all of this. Fortunately, I was rescued from that terrible fate by an unexpectedly good result in an exam that I hadn't realised was really a recruitment tool for the PhD programme. This was my protest against the way the smartest people I knew were being funnelled into accountancy and banking. I pretty much stole the tune from Joe Jackson, although I'm not sure it's really a parody.Here comes the man from the Pru
He's come all of this way to get you to go to interview
He's looking for anyone he can recruit
He's got a mouthful of sweet-talk and a suitcase full of loot
He's got a handful of freebies and a promise of money
It's the land of the milkround, honey
Join the Army, be the best
Officer Training is a real holiday fun-fest
Travel the world, do whatever you will
Everywhere you go there are interesting people to kill
For a handful of freebies and a promise of money
It's the land of the milkround, honey
So let's sell our souls to Unilever
Let's take KPMG's 30,000 pieces of silver
Let's prostitute ourselves to Nestle
It's only the rest of our lives we're giving away
For a handful of freebies and a promise of money
It's the land of the milkround, honey
Run around to the bank, face facts, you'll pay income tax
Run around to the bank, face facts, you'll pay income tax
For a handful of freebies and a promise of money
It's the land of the milkround, honey
