lyrics
When I joined the Public Service I can tell you I was nervous Bureaucracy just doesn't sound like fun
And I found out and there’s no doubt, what it seems to be about
Is ways to stop you getting good things done
You get a plan approved then priorities are moved
Half the time you never find out why
One thing you can count on – when things go wrong it won’t take long
The Minister will hang you out to dry
Like a nudist on the beach of love
A nudist on the beach of love
The sun is going to roast the parts you value most
Like a nudist on the beach of love
We've got reports that no-one needs, reports that no-one reads
We’re drowning in paper in this town
Try to write a briefing and you’re bound to end up weeping
The consultation process grinds you down
There’s a bureaucrats’ religion - The Church of Risk Aversion
We worship at its altar every day
Suggest things should change and everybody thinks you’re strange
You might as well be asking for more pay
