about

No one is above being fired. You can lose your job by email, even though you thought you were rising up the corporate ladder -- as thousands of IT workers discovered. This was the inspiration for It's All Right, Jack.

lyrics

I'm a family man and my children are happy
They get what they want cause I've, I've got the money
Life's in the fast lane breaking the limit 
Gotta keep up with the Jones's, their style I'm living
I'm not lazy
I've worked hard for what I've got

I'm all right, Jack
I'm heading for promotion
I'm right on track
Rising up that holy ladder
I'll never look back

I open the morning news to see the market crash
I read about layoffs of those hired last
My office oddly vacant, sitting here alone
Empty office chairs next to ringing phones
They were lazy
I've worked hard for what I've got

I'm all right, Jack
I'm heading for promotion
I'm right on track
Rising on that holy ladder
I'll never look back

An email from the boss
He gave me two day notice
His profit, my loss
Shoulda joined the dots

I've been better, Jack
Never thought this could happen
Life's so unfair, Jack
They're feasting off the work of others 
They'll never look back
