Lyrics
***Nordic Channel Challenge, Genre: Broadway Musical Theme: Most boring day ever***
[Intro]
"9:01, coffee’s cold, but it’s alright."
"Could be worse! Could be.... wait...? meeting at nine?"
"Oh... Fantastic.... - Just fantastic..."
[Verse]
A dozen squares on a flickering screen,
One guy’s muted, one’s eating a bean.
Linda’s frozen, Bob’s too loud,
Steve’s in his car, lost in a cloud.
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve covered this... yes, last Thursday!
Rebranding..? No, it’s just surveys.
The pie chart’s back... it looks the same,
Oh wait... now it’s got my name?!
[Chorus]
This could’ve been an e-mail!
A simple, little note..!
Instead, I sit here smiling,
While my soul dissolves like oat..milk in bad coffee...
Oooh-ooh...
This could’ve been an e-mail!
(could’ve been an e-mail..)
[Break]
"You’re muted, Gary..."
"No, go ahead..."
"Guys, I’m in traffic, I can’t see the thread..."
"Please mute yourself, there’s an echo..."
"What are we talking about..?"
[Verse]
The boss is talking.. God knows why,
The budget’s shrinking.. morale’s sky-high.
No one listens, no one cares,
Why is Mark still in his chair..?
(He quit last week, I swear.)
[Bridge]
There’s a world outside…
With trees and air and dogs that run...
And I am trapped, my will undone…
All for synergy... or something dumb.
[Final Chorus]
This could’ve been an email!
Just bullet points... concise..!
Instead, I stare at ceiling tiles,
And rethink all my life!
Oooh-ooh...
This could’ve been an e-mail!
(could’ve been an e-mail..)
[Refrain]
This could’ve been an email!
Just bullet points... concise!
Instead, I stare at ceiling tiles,
And rethink all my life!
"Alright, let’s take this offline…"
