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…"
