Take It Off
Sebastian Lyrics

In the board room the quiet man
There's a man in the board room who's been silent until now.

Takes a second to think what to do
He's taking a moment to decide what to say.

He's out of his seat and he's starting to speak
He's standing up and about to talk.

And he hears his own voice
He's surprised to hear his own voice speaking up.

For years and years he's done nothing but bow down
He's been submissive for years.

And put up with all their demands
He's been complying with everything they ask.

She sits like a viper and offers the clock
A woman makes an offer insincerely.

Without giving a damn
She doesn't care about the situation.

He takes it
He accepts the offer.

Honor forbids me, but honor be damned
He's putting aside his sense of honor.

You have whined till you got what you want
He's accusing someone of complaining and getting their way.

I did the working when things were going badly
He's taking credit for hard work during difficult times.

You left us to rot
Someone abandoned their team.

He locked the door of the boardroom
He locked the door making sure no one leaves or enters the boardroom.

And turned like the scene from the old country song
He made a dramatic turn like a classic western.

Towering over the table he's lost
He's towering over the table and has lost his senses.

He is drunk with it all
He's lost his mind from everything.

You only came back to us when we'd turned it around
Someone returned only after success.

When we'd rescued your arse from the fire
Someone saved someone else from trouble.

Your contribution to all that we did
Someone's effort.

Was to say it was dire
But someone else is downplaying it and labelling it as poor quality.

Night after day after night I've been working
He's been working a lot.

Despite of you fucking us all
Despite someone creating problems for everyone else.

Now I'm gonna die, I don't care if you cry
He's going to die, and someone else's emotions can't change that.

Just please leave me alone
He just wants to be left alone.

And spare your tears for yourself
He doesn't care about anyone else's pain.

We've had those till we're sick
They're tired of seeing others cry.

You should leave while you still have the chance
Someone should leave the situation while they still can.

The others were shocked at this shameful disgrace
Others are surprised and embarrassed by what's happening.

At the end of an honored career
Despite a long and respected career.

He paused in the silence to pull down his tie
He took a moment of silence to adjust his tie.

And observe the mele
He took a moment to observe the chaos.
