Massive Reductions

Ray Davies, released on Word of Mouth, © Davray Music Ltd. 1984

.

I've been sacrificed in the name of the company,

I've been victimized for the sake of economy.

I had a big house, a big car,

Expense account and credit cards,

But now look what they've done to me.

.

They're making massive reductions,

It's all mass production and assembly lines.

They're making massive reductions,

Massive reductions.

.

They're laying me off all because of inflation,

I'm losing my job and my reputation.

Good-bye my big house, my big car.

Now it's all up to welfare,

I hear that everybody's going there.

.

They're making massive reductions,

Massive reductions to stay alive.

Whoa, they're making massive reductions.

.

Good-bye my big house, my big car,

Now it's all up to welfare,

I hear that everybody's going there.

.

They're making massive reductions,

Massive reductions to stay alive.

Whoa, they're making massive reductions.

.
