MICROSOFTBAT

Lyrics

[Intro] (Sound of endless Microsoft Teams notifications pinging, heavy sub-bass building up) [Spoken - Deep, heavy grime voice] Another meeting that could have been an email. The coffee is cold. The manager is about to snap. [Verse 1 - Heavy Grime MC flow, driving dark bassline] Look at the screen, Excel sheet is blue, Fifty unread emails, what do I do? Quarterly report, deadline on the line, Staring at the clock, running out of time. CEO is calling, asking for the charts, Feel the sudden panic pounding in my heart. Tied up in a tie, suffocating slow, When the system crashes, watch the manager go! [Pre-Chorus - Frantic post-punk panic, rapid breathing] (Gasp) Teams ping! (Gasp) Zoom ring! Calendar is full, I can't see a single thing! (Gasp) Touch base! (Gasp) Lost face! Running like a rat in a corporate race! [Chorus - Massive Electronic Post-Punk Drop] Manager is cracking, tearing down the wall! Screaming at the spreadsheets, watching them fall! (Gasp) Close the laptop, throw it in the air! Out of office reply, I don't even care! Manager is cracking, burning out the wires, Living on espresso, setting desk fires! [Verse 2 - Rapid-fire, breathless grime spit] Synergy, leverage, circle back ASAP, Brainstorming, paradigm, don't talk to me. (Gasp) Eye twitching, fingers clicking, mouse is sticking, HR is watching but the clock is ticking. "Let’s take this offline," "Let’s align the goals," Corporate jargon sucking out our souls. I put the 'rage' in the manager role, Losing all my patience, losing all control! [Bridge - Slow atmospheric techno pulse, high tension] (Whisper) Please find attached... (Gasp) As per my last email... (Heavy industrial sub-bass accelerating, copier machine sounds) [Chorus - Maximum Energy, explosive finale] Manager is cracking, tearing down the wall! Screaming at the spreadsheets, watching them fall! (Gasp) Close the laptop, throw it in the air! Out of office reply, I don't even care! Manager is cracking, burning out the wires, Living on espresso, setting desk fires! [Outro] (Heavy panting, mouse clicking sounds slowing down) Meeting adjourned. (Gasp) Permanently. (Loud slamming door sound, silence)
