[Verse 1] Sarah opens up her laptop, starts another working day Slack and Teams are always running, email tabs won't go away Every ping becomes a magnet, pulling focus from her task "Being quick means I'm professional" - that's the way she's learned to ask [Chorus] Ding ding, check the screen Switch between what might have been Fill the gaps with endless streams CBC and Reddit dreams This is what Canadians do instead Productivity myths stuck in our head [Verse 2] Open office fills with chatter, "Got a quick question for you" Every interruption welcome, concentration split in two Multitask becomes the mantra, juggling twelve things at once Deep work feels like ancient history, focus just a lucky punch [Chorus] Ding ding, check the screen Switch between what might have been Fill the gaps with endless streams CBC and Reddit dreams This is what Canadians do instead Productivity myths stuck in our head [Bridge] Sports scores update every minute Hockey highlights, we're all in it Any silence must be broken With content that keeps us choking On the chance to think deep thoughts All our focus time is shot [Verse 3] When a moment might bring stillness, grab the phone and scroll some more Never let the mind just wander, information is the cure Busy looks like being useful, frantic feels like getting done But the gap between our effort and results weighs half a ton [Chorus] Ding ding, check the screen Switch between what might have been Fill the gaps with endless streams CBC and Reddit dreams This is what Canadians do instead Productivity myths stuck in our head [Outro] Time to break these habits down Turn distractions all around Canada can lead the way To a more productive day
