Nuclear Wonderland
Sung to the Tune of "Winter Wonderland"
© 2010


Winter's here, are you sneezin'?
Here at work, the heat is wheezin',
The bosses get heat,
We're frozen like meat.
Workin' in a nuclear wonderland.

Gone away: pride in working,
Contract staff, always lurking,
A holiday gift:
The upcoming RIF.
Workin' in a nuclear wonderland.

In staff meetings we'll be reprimanded,
For things we haven't had time to discuss,
So our vengeance soon will be expanded,
By throwing management under the bus.

Later on, we'll conspire,
Key their cars, slash their tires,
Continue to pay
As we're hauled away.
Workin' in a nuclear wonderland.

In the hallways staff will be assaulted,
There's no way the mayhem will be curbed,
NRC employees can't be faulted,
‘Cause Wackenhut's employees are disturbed.

No more work, just enjoyment,
On the line for unemployment,
Our wonderful prize
Was being downsized.
From workin' in a nuclear wonderland.
