The Lyrics

Who gets the blame for the massive business scandal? Johnny Newguy, of course! That's totally unsuspicious!
Hey

I bet you're new, you've got that clueless
Look that masks the fear you're useless
I'm passin' on the truth no-one wants:
You were brought on just to take the fall

Yes, you are our scapegoat
The fall guy, don't you know?
No way that you were told
But I had to be bold

Not right, so wrong
But we're full of crime, crime just never stops
And how (and how) it plays (it plays)
Is they find some so-so schmuck to take blame
Brought on for five (ooh-ooh)
Or six months, just enough time, uh
For their top spies (ooh)
To loot your desk and quote-unquote "find", uh

That you're the new scapegoat
The patsy, don't you know?
You're aware of that role
Afraid it's you, all told

I can't force you out the doors
Just need to know you can just go
I can't, of course (oh), not in the plan (yeah-ee-ee-ee-yeah, yeah)
For how I know that this place blows
It may come off as cold
But I can't let you know (oh)
The finer details, don't
Ask, best that you just go
Ignorance of all the problems (yeah, yeah)
Will be all you'll need for blockin'
The top dudes from movin' on with
Their big dump of fake proof, honest (yeah, yeah)

You can't be their scapegoat (ooh-ooh)
Their fall guy, don't you know?
If you just up and go (ooh-ooh)
Make some excuse to fold

Whoo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Look, if there's no-one on who to pin blame
Then the evidence is gonna keep their names (oh)
And since that means that their cred will end up tanked (oh)
You'll be wantin' that spot on your CV blank (yeah)
It's not worth the piss-poor pay
Benefits gassed up then yanked away (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's your bog-standard garbage work place (oh)
With a little more "Scandal!" front-paged (ooh)

They'll make you the scapegoat
The patsy, don't you know?
Don't "but" or "wait", just go
Before in jail, you're thrown

Yeah-ee-ee-ee-yeah, yeah
Here's my number, I will be your ref'rence
Yeah, yeah

You might think the original song is a tribute to a classic cartoon that apparently everyone but me has seen. But, uh...just look up the lyrics. It gets into some...dark places. That's not a bad thing, I do like this song, just...not what I expected.
