Dead Weight by Karl Meyer Lyrics

They called me to the office and showed me a graph
Said we're gonna have to rightsize the staff
The last twenty years have really been great
But we've gotta make some cuts and you're dead weight

You're dead weight
You're dead weight

I went home, my stuff was in a box on the floor
She said, “you’re too old” and she showed me the door
She said, “the last eight years have been really great
But I found somebody new and you're dead weight”

You're dead weight – I’m dead weight
You're dead weight – I’m dead weight



She took the house and the SUV
The only thing I got left is me
Everything I worked for in my life
The promotion, the house, and the trophy wife
It's all dead weight, it’s dead weight
