Songs that best reflect your Novartis experience

Genesis- Land of Confusion

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
 






"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
Said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessman they drink my wine,
Plowman dig my earth
None will level on the line, nobody offered his word, hey"

"No reason to get excited,"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel Novartis is a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower
Vasella kept the view
While all the women came and sued
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance
Joe Jimenez did growl
US Justice was approaching
And the wind began to howl
 


















So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time (lay-off), so I can end my time with you!!!
 






Dirty Dancing theme song, "I've had the time of my life". This is a great job, no stress, no outlandish goals, all targets are correct, great management, low expectations, great dialogue with customers, no managed care issues, price not a concern. Love it!!
 












Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival

This one could very well be the theme for a lot of people and the company as a whole, at least over the past 4 or 5 years or so.

Here are the lyrics -

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

[Chorus:]
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

[Chorus]
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
 
























I was gonna make a call- but I got High!

I was gonna schedule some lunches, but I got High!

I was gonna practice roleplay, but I got high!

I was gonna wake up with the alarm to go to my POD meeting, But I got High!

I was gonna pretend I cared, But I got High!

I was gonna finish this song, but I'm gonna get high! Oh My!
 
























Awesome thread! Hard to decide between:

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess

and

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
 












EVERY MEETING whether a launch, RPM, DPM, Review, POD etc............

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

................AND I KEEP SMILING !
 






This song reminds me of Novartis management at every turn

"I Fought the Law and the ... law won
I Fought the Law and the ... law won
I needed money, 'cause I ... had none
I Fought the Law and the ... law won
I Fought the Law and the ... law won"
