Check out Dan's ALTERNATE ENDING! • LETHAL COMPANY SONG | ...
In ‘Lethal Company,’ employees explore a multitude moons in order to find scrap, risking their lives as they face deathly traps and are stalked by dangerous creatures. They must find enough scrap to meet the ever-increasing profit quotas of “The Company,” or else the employees may find themselves brutally disposed of…
But luckily this is all just a video game! Can you imagine any companies in real life having such a callous disregard for their employees mental and physical welfare? Allowing human suffering just so they can increase their profits?! Hoarding wealth and paying a pittance to those doing the actual labour?! I sure can’t think of any AMAZing examples ON the fly…
Well folks, we’re back to our usual video game songs! I loved the idea of a Lethal Company song, it seemed like the perfect game to add to the anti-capitalism bop collection. I wanted it to be a semi-spiritual successor to the Fine Print in terms of theme and message, even though I doubt it’ll achieve the same level of notoriety on TikTok.
It seems to be a pattern to do a collab with Dan Bull in the first half of the year, and who am I to break tradition? Big thanks to Dan, it’s always great fun to work with him (even though I deprived him of sleep a bit for this one… sorry Dan!)
And as always, many thanks to rest of the team for this one. Nick for another smashing set build, Paul for his fantastic filmography, Liz for her excellent editing, Benedict and Phoenix for their cracking costumes and prop-making prowess, and Benedict again for his awesome assistance on set.
Alliteration is fun. Wait! I mean… alliteration is amusing.

  • Check out Dan's ALTERNATE ENDING! kzhead.info/sun/Z91tZrCRmGOFiI0/bejne.html LYRICS: INTRO: Steel, iron, nuts and bolts Poor man’s gold in rusted vaults Scrap, tin, wheels and gears Shift by shift and year by year Rod, beam, sheet and plate Ironclad, you sealed your fate All that shines shall fade in time Welded put the day you signed VERSE 01: The production line You better do your best, forget about sunshine ‘Cause you won’t see it where you’re going And the only thing you know is You won’t get to have your lunch on time Or ever again, ‘cause every second you spend That isn’t meeting an end that an executive penned Is another debt that you render that’ll let them extend Upon the length of your tenure where you’re ever condemned Well, would you look at that, life’s coming thick and fast, I run and Zig and zag amid the tat, pick and pack, bric-a-brac Click and drag, mix and match, stick a stack in my sack ‘Til it could fill a skip of scrap then bring it back quick as a flash We’re scrappy and resilient, we’re happy and we’re diligent But that’s just if you’re listening to marketing transmissions Contractually itinerant, a dastardly predicament Entrapped within a system hauling scrap for the omnipotent Voices in the radio that point us in which way to go The base we’re excavating, what we’re paid and then the pay we owe Uncertain of the purpose to the service that we’re slaving over Purge the lunar surface of its worth to meet the daily quote MAIN CHORUS: Some of us are living to work Some of us are working to live Some of us are making while others are just taking And some of us are dying to give VERSE 02: Whoop! Yay! Hooray! Another day at the office Slaving away and generating the profits Heading straight for the pockets of the laziest bosses If it wasn’t for me then they’d be making a loss, it’s A struggle working double shifts, selling my soul So my landlord doesn't have to do any at all I’m clearly very important while you’re merely a drone Giving me steady employment just to dwell in a hole That I can barely afford, belly unfilled like Oliver Twist Begging for more, I don’t want to exist No longer stomaching it, wanna be somebody different But I’m stuck as it is, so stuff it, double my shifts Rub out the family time in your diary, erase it all They’ll only hire me if I’ll be reliably available Yet I appear, clearly entirely replaceable The irony’s I find it to be kind of inspirational Anxiety’ll make you more inclined to reach a greater goal Until you find me crying quietly against the wall I miss my wife, I miss my kids I miss my life, can’t live like this! Perhaps for once if salary might rise in line with rent We’d have the funds to rise and shine, not rise in line, content To sacrifice our family lives to those on high, hell bent On empires founded on the thousands drowned in the cement PRE-CHORUS: I am the very model of a model employee I never leave my shuttle, can’t afford to pay those fees My overtime does overtime, I work nine days a week And I never hit that bottle ‘til it’s time to take a pee MAIN CHORUS: Some of us are making a killing While some are barely making a living Is a life worth saving without life savings? It’s a 9-to-5, 25-to-life in prison VERSE 03: Lift off, tick tock, the big clock’s a-tickin’ Drift in, dropped off at the drop ship’s position Sod tip top condition, a tip’s what you live in Drop shipping top tip - “Tips will not be given” With this cost of living what do lives cost? Well, the customer ain’t fussed over the lives lost We’re discounted, under the counter, half off In stocks, at the gallows for the price drop To rock bottom, ba-da-da-dum Sing the jingle, give a whistle, here’s your lot, plod on It’s official, sacrificial, sing the company song ‘Fore they bop the stop-button on your oxygen Two guys moonlight on a new moon nightly Tryna find loot like, “Ooh that’ll do nicely” Lamp, cookie mold, jar, fish, stop sign Pan, whoopie, gold bar, gift box, MINE! No, mine! NO, MINE! [mine explodes] Should you be hurt in our place of employment It’ll be worse than a band-aid and some ointment There isn’t a nurse with whom to make an appointment There’s really just certain doom; painfully poignant Each day tossed upon the scrapheap Struggling to meet pay, care to mind the gap, cheap Labour can be replaced when there are fatalities Several men a week slayed, tumbling from the gantries In what kind of dimension is debris so decrepit Worth more than all the lives amongst the men you send to get it? The minions paid a pittance from the millions you inherit And then billed for the equipment ‘fore they get to spent the credits SPOKEN INTERLUDE: Have you had an accident at work that wasn’t your fault? No, you haven’t It absolutely WAS your fault! MAIN CHORUS: Some of us are living to work Some of us are working to live Some of us are making while others are just taking And some of us are dying to give We all bought the production line We all toe the production line We all march in production line We all signed the production line BRIDGE: It’s a hell of a show, better the devil you know Just another shift, try to keep a grip Haven’t slept a wink and my vision starts to drift We’re here to sell you your soul, next day and ready to go Filling up the ship, just another trip Maddened, on the brink, in no position to resist The wheels of progress, they turn, so get ahead or go home I got a quota to meet or else it’s over for me And when my rota’s complete then I can hopefully leave Just never question what burns to run the engines below We were sold on a dream but now they won’t let us sleep Take a moment to grieve and you’ll owe them a fee VERSE 04: My school careers adviser couldn’t be any nicer She was just like, “Might as well give up and die, bruh” It isn’t that likely we’ll experience retirement When staying alive’s a minimum requirement I’ve trained, I’ve tried, ‘til I’m strained, I’m tired I’d trade my trade for a train driver’s But I’m afraid that the end of the line Isn’t a place I’ll arrive ‘til the end of my life PRE-CHORUS: I am the very model of a model employee ‘Cause I’m used to being toyed with by those far bigger than me Painfully aware my fate to bear’s as cog in a machine Just one more face cast off to space for products on a screen FINAL CHORUS: Production line Production line Production line Production line Production line Production line Production line Production line We all bought the production line We all toe the production line We all march in production line We all signed the production line Some of us are making a killing While some are barely making a living Is a life worth saving without life savings? It’s a 9-to-5 25-to-life in prison Some of us are living to work Some of us are working to live Some of us are making while others are just taking And some of us are dying to give It’s a hell of a show, better the devil you know We’re here to sell you your soul, next day and ready to go We all signed the production line

The workers all have that dead look in thier eyes as the foreman half-heartedly guides the guys through the motions so we can all get back to why we're there in the first place.

The line "I am the very model of a model employee ‘Cause I’m used to being toyed with by those far bigger than me" COULD NOT have hit harder than it did today. All love Stupes.

It's so perfectly distilled "Stupendium talks corporate greed" that it's iconic, of course. But man. The hardness of these lines makes me think it'd sell better than the gold we're grabbing to hit quota. Platinum song indeed.

But if you don’t know how to see other people’s experiences and are like a potted plant who doesn’t listen to anyone then yeah, it makes sense. Every perspective is someone’s world.
