Lyrics

I died yesterday, thought I'd see the light,
But instead, I'm here, stuck in endless white.
They handed me a form, said, "Sign here, please,
Then wait in line while we sort your destiny."

I asked, "What happens now? Do I go to the sky?"
The clerk just sighed, "You’re in the wrong line, guy."
I’m just a number now, no soul to redeem,
Welcome to Purgatory, the HR team's dream.

Oh, Purgatory's HR, the endless maze,
They’ve got a file on everyone and their darkest days.
You’ll wait for eternity, with no hope in sight,
And if you complain, they’ll make you wait all night.
Purgatory’s HR, where the coffee’s cold,
And they lose your paperwork, so your fate’s on hold.

I sat down in the waiting room, reading old magazines,
Wondering if I’d ever leave, or if I’m stuck in between.
They called my name, but it was a typo, of course,
Now I’m back at the end of the line with no recourse.

I tried to ask for help, but the clerk just stared,
Said, “We’ll get to you eventually, we’re underprepared."
A stamp here, a signature, a dozen red tapes,
In Purgatory’s HR, you’ll never escape.

Oh, Purgatory’s HR, it’s a bureaucratic hell,
Where everyone’s fate’s locked in a broken spell.
You’ll fill out forms that make no sense at all,
And get put on hold till the heavens fall.
Purgatory’s HR, just a waste of your time,
You’ll never get an answer, just more forms to sign.

They said I’d be sorted, they promised me peace,
But all I got was paperwork that would never cease.
I met a guy who’s been here for 200 years,
Still waiting for approval, he’s drowned in his fears.

Oh, Purgatory’s HR, where nothing’s on track,
You’ll spend your days in limbo, and never look back.
They lost your case file, now it’s someone’s lunch,
So you’ll wait forever, for that one final punch.
Purgatory’s HR, where nothing gets done,
Welcome to the afterlife, it’s never fun.

I guess I'll just wait, maybe I'll get a chance,
To climb out of this hellish bureaucratic dance.
But till then, I’ll be filling forms, day after day,
Purgatory's HR, where the light fades away.
