The Redundancy Hymn

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(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
