Inspired by the great Leonard Cohen‘s First We Take Manhattan:

… Then I Take Purchasing

They sentenced me to thirty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I’m coming now, I’m coming to reward them
First I take Corp’rate Finance, then I take Purchasing

I’m guided by a signal in the heavens
I’m guided by this birthmark on my skin
I’m guided by the beauty of my weapon
First I take Corp’rate Finance, then I take Purchasing

I do not like to live beside you, baby
I fear your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First I take Corp’rate Finance, then I take Purchasing

I don’t like your fashion business mister
And I don’t like the tainted money you take in
I don’t like what happened to my sister
First I take Corp’rate Finance, then I take Purchasing

I do not like to live beside you, baby …

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I’m ready
First I take Corp’rate Finance, then I take Purchasing

I am guided

Ah remember me, I used to live for content
Remember me, I brought your traffic in
Well it’s Veteran’s Day and everybody’s wounded
First I take Corp’rate Finance, then I take Purchasing
