[Verse 1]Woke up screaming, not from a nightmare,Just my Slack notifications in the cold morning air,Fourteen messages, all say "urgent"One guy's crying 'bout a button that's not working,
Coffee's cold but my code's colder,Comments say "TODO" from three years, I'm the owner,Nobody left who knows why it works,Just legacy magic and my inherited curse,
[Pre-Chorus]I give my life to a glowing screen,Trade my youth for a health insurance dream,Standup at nine, I lie and say "I'm fine"Blocked on a ticket since two thousand nine,
[Chorus]Ship it Friday, watch it burn Saturday,Rollback Sunday, do it all again on Monday,I'm an artist with a compiler for a brush,Painting bugs nobody asked me to crush,Ship it Friday, smile like it's okay,This is fine, this is fine, everything's okay,(everything's on fire, everything's okay)
[Verse 2]Manager says "quick sync," it's ninety minutes,Talks in circles, I'm just nodding, I'm not in it,"Let's take this offline," we never do,Meeting about a meeting to discuss the next one too,
Interview asked me to reverse a tree,Haven't touched a tree since two-thousand-three,Now I copy-paste from a website with a bird,And pray to code I've never truly heard,
[Pre-Chorus]I give my life to a glowing screen,Trade my youth for a health insurance dream,Standup at nine, I lie and say "I'm fine"Blocked on a ticket since two thousand nine,
[Chorus]Ship it Friday, watch it burn Saturday,Rollback Sunday, do it all again on Monday,I'm an artist with a compiler for a brush,Painting bugs nobody asked me to crush,Ship it Friday, smile like it's okay,This is fine, this is fine, everything's okay,(everything's on fire, everything's okay)
[Bridge]Maybe I'll quit, open a little café,Then I remember I can't do math anyway,Maybe I'll quit, go live off the land,Then my laptop dings and I'm back with my hand,Reaching, reaching, reaching for the keys,Chained to a Wi-Fi signal, can't break free,(can't break free, can't break free)
[Final Chorus]Ship it Friday, watch it burn Saturday,Rollback Sunday, do it all again on Monday,I'm an artist with a compiler for a brush,Painting bugs nobody asked me to crush,Ship it Friday, smile like it's okay,This is fine, this is fine, everything's okay,
[Outro](everything's fine, everything's fine)Just restart it — did you try to restart it?(everything's fine, everything's fine)Turn it off and on again,(everything's fine... everything's...)[glitchy synth cutoff],
