We've got a surplus of pens and staplers, sucks
Such thing as "too much", as it turns out
Boss is on my ass to work out who did that
Who misplaced a comma, sacked is what they'll be now

Six thousand paperclips, yeah, that's a bit much, true
Cost a fair bit as well, shoulda seen how much the boss fumed
Or the way that I stared when they opened that truck
Yeah, giant-ass boxes of just way too much stuff
We've got a surplus
We've got a surplus

Not a mess, really, organised neatly
They're more like roadworks blockin' half the street
Won't say we don't need all this, makes the office pedant butt in
Technic'lly right that it's all useful supplies

But this is excessive, yeah, that's the basic truth
And just think of the hell other companies will go through
They won't get their fair share of all these pens and stuff
Yeah, this should not happen so easily, it's dumb
We've got a surplus

We've got a surplus and it can't be undone
With this crap we're stuck 'til it all runs out
