open space 

The company that employs me is willing to save costs 
They put us in open-space in which I get lost 
But they made savings that's what matters the most 

It's very noisy everybody talks at the same time 
It's not easy we are past our prime 
It drives me crazy It costs a dollar to save a dime 

I know everything on my colleagues personal lives 
The nickname of their children, of their dogs, of their cats, of their wives 
And it's so exciting to learn all about their strives 

I remain quiet in my little peace of space 
Observing and studying the so strange human race 
But no way to work in that choppy and noisy place 

A good friend of mine plays drums on his desk 
With the stupid phone rings, it's a unstoppable contest 
I look a pain each time I request a little rest 

I work in an open space 
And I wish the big bosses worked in such a place
