One Thousand Today

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m thirty-four, and I’m tired Two jobs, still behind on rent Phone lit up like a warning But the bill never pays itself If I had one thousand today I’d breathe before the next call I’d fix the leak in the ceiling And buy my daughter school shoes tall [Verse 2] I’m up before the sun does Coffee gone cold in the cup By noon I’ve missed three messages And another lead gave up I got good work in my hands But I can’t be everywhere When the day keeps moving faster I’m just one person in there [Pre-Chorus] And that’s the part that hurts me When the inbox fills again I can sell a dream on Monday Then lose the thread by ten I need a hand that never sleeps A voice that stays on time A little help that shows up Every single line [Chorus] AI Employee, answer them back AI Employee, don’t let it crack Follow up, book it in Keep the door open, let the hope come in AI Employee, day and night AI Employee, make it right One thousand today could turn the key (One thousand today) [Verse 3] Imagine the messages answered While I’m loading up the van A customer asks for prices And it replies like a plan It books the appointment clean Sends the reminder too Checks in when the day is over Says, “We still got you” [Verse 4] No more chasing every lead No more losing warm intent No more typing after midnight Just to fix what got away again It follows up with kindness It keeps the promise alive Like another set of shoulders Helping me survive [Pre-Chorus] And I can finally look up When my son says, “Dad, stay” I don’t have to choose between us And the work I need today The whole week stops feeling heavy When the pressure starts to thin Because somebody’s still answering Even when I’m in [Chorus] AI Employee, answer them back AI Employee, don’t let it crack Follow up, book it in Keep the door open, let the hope come in AI Employee, day and night AI Employee, make it right One thousand today could turn the key (One thousand today) [Bridge] Pause for a second Picture your life like that Messages answered on time Appointments that actually come back You’re still you Still the one with the dream Just with a little more room And a whole lot less strain in the seams [Break] If the phone keeps ringing And you’re already worn thin If one thousand today means You can finally begin [Final Chorus] AI Employee, answer them back AI Employee, don’t let it crack Follow up, book it in Keep the door open, let the hope come in AI Employee, day and night AI Employee, make it right One thousand today could turn the key (One thousand today) (One thousand today) If you want to see the AI Employee in action, comment AI EMPLOYEE.
