Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
And more and more decisions
Elevated to the top floor
Voice print opens the door
It's all yours
Swiveling chair, mahogany desk
The paranoramic view is picturesque
Remote control venetian blinds
Dim the skyline dripping over time
A hot tub and masseus on call
But you're better work hard
If you wanna play hard ball
Yo this ain't Monopoly
Plain and simple it's proper monotony
Well get ready for a life in the jet set
Or should I say a life in a head set
Line three, it's a conference call
Think out the box baby, stay on the ball
You're a millionaire but you don't care
You've made it to the top but you'd better stay there

Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
And more and more decisions
(You'd better make some decisions, figga)

A board metting at half past three
With the CEO and the new VP
They got a problem with the Japanese
They bought a first class ticket for you overseas
You got a mission to micro-manage
Weed out the problem and make it vanish

You might break with the protocol
But if you leave with a handshake problem solved

It was a job well done
You passed the test and got the respect of everyone
The sideline sitters and the sword-swallowers
The bottom feeders and the board followers
You want food for thought just to vibe with this
You're either powerless or on the power list
Just remember that corporate culture
Starts with adreneline and ends with ulcers

Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
And more and more decisions
(You'd better make some decisions, figga)

But you're losing drive
Third quarter stock took a nose dive
And brass want explanations
It's in the papers, they're losing patience
Some head's gotta roll
They gonna try and squeeze you out through a loophole
Say goodbye to your swivelling chair
You made it to the top but you couldn't stay there

Decisions
Decisions
Decisions
Decisions

And more and more decisions





(You'd better make some decisions, figga)

Overall Meaning

The song "Decisions" by Gonzales is about the life of someone who has achieved great success in the corporate world. The lyrics paint a picture of a wealthy executive who has it all: a luxurious office with a panoramic view, an army of assistants at their disposal, and a jet-setting lifestyle. However, this success comes with a price: the constant pressure to make important decisions that can affect the future of the company.


The song warns that success is fleeting, and that even the most powerful executives can fall from grace. The singer starts to lose their drive as the company's stock begins to plummet, and their superiors become increasingly impatient. In the end, they are forced out, a cautionary tale about the temporary nature of success and the constant need to make difficult decisions.


Overall, the song is a commentary on the fast-paced, high-stakes world of corporate America and the toll it can take on those who succeed in it. It highlights the need to balance work and play and to remember that even the most successful people are not invincible.
