Four years of college, then got my MBA, carried a 3.5 things were going great
Got a job in IT, paying off my student loan, then I get a message on my mobile phone
Seems the guys in management had to talk to me, it’s about the bottom line of the company
We have to stay competitive and keep our prices low
Only one way to do that, your job has to go it’s been
Outsourced, outsourced, sent overseas
For 50 cents an hour, can somebody please
Tell me what a man’s to do to raise his family
When his job’s been outsourced
First my healthcare disappeared, then my pension plan
Then they sent me overseas so I could train the man
Who was going to replace me for just 5 bucks a day
He’s real happy about the news but all I have to say, I’ve been
Outsourced, outsourced, sent overseas
And I’m not alone it’s the new American disease
If you want to keep your job, you’d better brush up on Chinese
When your jobs been outsourced
Tell me Mr. President hat am I suppose to do
Hey I’ve got a great idea let’s outsource your job too
Giant corporations are now running the show
And when they say it’s time to cut then our jobs have to go
With acquisitions, downsizing and all these corporate mergers
Soon they’ll be just one job left, we’ll all be flippin’ burgers we’ve been
Outsourced, outsourced, sent overseas
And it’s happening everywhere it’s the new American disease
You may think your job is still secure till they tap you on the sleve and say that you’ve been
Outsourced, outsourced and you can say bye bye
They do it in a hear beat and they don’t blink an eye
All those years of schooling, what a waste boy I couldn’t have been dumber
I should have listened to my uncle Ralph and become a plumber I’ve been
Outsourced, outsourced sent overseas for 50 cents an hour can somebody please
Tell me what a man’s to do to raise his family, when his job’s been outsourced
