[Verse 1] Walking to another meeting room Don't know why we're here but we assume Someone said we had to show our face Though the agenda's lost without a trace Sitting quiet when we disagree Keeping peace is our priority Never saying what we really think Harmony's our missing productivity link [Chorus] Sorry sorry sorry all day long Training our minds that we don't belong Busy busy busy spinning wheels Thinking motion's what productive feels Meeting meeting meeting just because Avoiding truth for politeness laws This is what we do instead When real progress stays in our head [Verse 2] Got some feedback but I'll hold it back Don't want conflict keeping us off track Smile and nod though something isn't right Better keep the mood and spirit light Clock is ticking but we're looking good Rushing around the neighborhood Wearing busyness just like a crown While real contribution's breaking down [Chorus] Sorry sorry sorry all day long Training our minds that we don't belong Busy busy busy spinning wheels Thinking motion's what productive feels Meeting meeting meeting just because Avoiding truth for politeness laws This is what we do instead When real progress stays in our head [Bridge] Obligation over inspiration Deference blocking innovation Proxy measures fool our eyes While the productivity gap just multiplies [Chorus] Sorry sorry sorry all day long Training our minds that we don't belong Busy busy busy spinning wheels Thinking motion's what productive feels Meeting meeting meeting just because Avoiding truth for politeness laws This is what we do instead When real progress stays in our head [Outro] Time to change what we do instead Get real progress out of our head
