Functionary Blues

This form I’m sorry to say
Is not filled out quite right
Too long looking at these
And I’m about to lose my sight
No news is good news
I’ve got the functionary blues

Please just take your place in line
And have ready your ID
The last four digits will work fine
Would you please follow me
No news is good news
I’ve got the functionary blues

The functionary blues
In the age of high technology
I’m a dinosaur in the horse race
Under the gun pointed at me

The world has gone to war again
No one is safe from the machine
Still they need someone to man it
Still they have these hands to clean
No news is good news
I’ve got the functionary blues

The functionary blues
In the age of high technology
I’m a dinosaur in the horse race
Under the gun pointed at me
