Текст песни: The Mushroom Song + перевод

Now everybody knows that engineers are lazy slobs

They dress in dirty T-shirts and complain about their jobs

But Management has found a way to make them toe the mark:

You feed them bits of bullshit, and you keep them in the dark!

Because they’re

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, keep them in the dark

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, I heard the boss remark

You feed them bits of bullshit til they can’t take any more

When they stick their heads up cut them off and

Ship them out the door

An engineer told his manager, ``This project is the pits

A stinking crock of horse manure that gives me nausious fits,''

The manager went to his boss and passed the word along

``It's a pot of fertilizer and its smell is awfully strong.''

It comes from…

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, keep them in the dark

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, I heard the boss remark

You feed them bits of bullshit til they can’t take any more

When they stick their heads up cut them off and

Ship them out the door

The word it traveled quickly 'til it reached the CEO

The VP told him gladly «This is stuff that makes things grow

It’s packaged in ceramic and it’s very strong indeed;

I think that you’ll agree that it’s exactly what we need.»

It’s made with…

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, keep them in the dark

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, I heard the boss remark

You feed them bits of bullshit til they can’t take any more

When they stick their heads up cut them off and

Ship them out the door

The CEO went to the board and said to them, ``You know

This substance has the power to make our business grow!''

They had the news that evening on the business TV shows:

``The company is growing and it’s smelling like a rose!''

They’re growing…

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, keep them in the dark

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, I heard the boss remark

You feed them bits of bullshit til they can’t take any more

When they stick their heads up cut them off and

Ship them out the door

The engineer he heard the news and muttered, «It's a crime

How other guys get all the nifty projects all the time

We have a real disaster here that just won’t go away

'Cause noone ever listens to a single word we say!

Because we’re…

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, keep them in the dark

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, I heard the boss remark

You feed them bits of bullshit til they can’t take any more

When they stick their heads up cut them off and

Ship them out the door

We all are…

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, keep them in the dark

Mushrooms, Mushrooms, I heard the boss remark

You feed them bits of bullshit til they can’t take any more

When they stick their heads up cut them off and

Ship them out the door
