Grace Petrie - The Redundancy Hymn lyrics

You don't need to start a folk
Band to exorcise your pain
You don't need to drive in circles or go
Walking in the rain
You don't need to wonder why it fell
Apart or who's to blame
You've done this all a thousand times
I guess it's all the same to you
The same to you

'Cause it's one out, one in
It's the redundancy hymn
Cast somebody else in my role
I will say good luck to him
This is now, that was then
And forevermore, amen
Cast somebody else in my role
I will say good luck to them
And I will say good luck to them
And I will say good luck to them

Well she took all of his anger
Took all of the pain
And so the morning rolled around
He let her take the blame
Well the day she walked in there was
Nowhere left to hide the shame
He went out and dragged another home
To start it all again anew again anew

It was one out, one in
It's the redundancy hymn
Cast somebody else in my role
I will say good luck to him
This is now, that was then
And forevermore, amen
Cast somebody else in my role
I will say good luck to them
And I will say good luck to them
And I will say good luck to them
Good luck to them

Well I'll clear all of my stuff out
Every single photograph
You appreciate my years of service
But, you found better staff
Don't make me laugh it's one out, one in
It's the redundancy hymn
But, I'd rather be up on the scrap heap
Than in the recycle bin
And to all of you replacements
Deep down you know you'll never win
One day you'll be here sitting next to me
So get ready to sing the redundancy hymn

It's one out, one in
It's the redundancy hymn
Cast somebody else in my role
And I'll say good luck to him
This is now, that was then
And forevermore, amen
Cast somebody else in my role and I'll say
Good luck, good luck to them

(it's one out, one in)
(It's the redundancy hymn) Good luck to them
(Cast somebody else in my role)
(And I'll say good luck to
Him) Good luck to them
(This is now, that was then)
(And forevermore, amen) Good luck to them
(Cast somebody else in my role)
And I'll say good luck to them
And I'll say good luck to them and I'll say
Good luck to them
