People giving talks need a message to convey
We need slides
They all come runnin to you guess what they want today
Need more slides
Some are on file but most you do from scratch
We need slides
Change em after their made it's hell you're gonna catch
Make more slides
They put too many bullets and words on a single foil
We need slides
The way those slides look would make anyone recoil
Make more slides
The time and money these slides cost they don't have a clue
We need slides
It's not their problem they don't care about you

Chorus:
You're stuck with slides 'cause your job is corporate identity
But all these late slides will make your budget an obscenity
We need slides

Your company's worldwide meeting needs a million slides at once
Make more slides
With all these changes every presenter must be a dunce
We need slides
After you finish those you've gotta do 50 more presentations
Make more slides
Your budget's blown if there's any more hesitation
We need slides
They finally gave you a job where you impact corporate position
Make more slides
But sticking your function with slides is a company tradition
We need slides
Executives take for granted every time you bail them out
Make more slides
But no matter what you do you'll never get any clout

[Chorus]

You did a great job and the exec's gonna speak today
Make more slides
He gets on stage and forgets what he's supposed to say
We need slides
So he blames you and says tomorrow could be your last day
Make more slides
And you say why put up with this for slave-level pay?
We need slides
Some execs think they know what to say and you know they never will
Need more slides
When those jerks want slides that's when you're ready to kill
We need slides
He says he needs new foils now -- he'll be in your office at 2
Need more slides
You finally defend yourself and say sorry some old foils gotta do

[Chorus]

You talked about the need for consistent graphics every day
Make more slides
Until they got sick of it and let you have your way
We need slides
You took away everybody's copy of Powerpoint and Frame
Make more slides
And now you know you're the one who lost the game
We need slides...
