Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah opens up her laptop, starts her morning ritual dance
Slack and Teams and Outlook waiting, notifications in advance
Every ping becomes a calling, every buzz demands reply
She believes that instant answers make her reputation fly

[Chorus]
Bing-bong-bing, the messages sing
Fragmented minds on digital strings
Quick question culture, attention thieves
Productivity bleeds through scattered leaves
CBC tabs and Reddit feeds
Fill the gaps where focus needs

[Verse 2]
Open office archipelago, conversations drift and blend
Tom pops over with a query, Sarah's deep work meets its end
"Just one second" turns to twenty, concentration breaks apart
Multitasking masquerade disguises an unfocused heart

[Chorus]
Bing-bong-bing, the messages sing
Fragmented minds on digital strings
Quick question culture, attention thieves
Productivity bleeds through scattered leaves
CBC tabs and Reddit feeds
Fill the gaps where focus needs

[Bridge]
Sports scores scrolling, news updates
Every silence suffocates
Responsiveness mistaken for
Professional behavior's core
Shallow work becomes the norm
Deep thinking cannot transform

[Verse 3]
Between the meetings and the chatter, vacant moments never last
Social media reflexes fill the quiet spaces fast
The smartphone becomes a crutch when thoughts might otherwise grow
Distraction multiplication puts on quite a busy show

[Chorus]
Bing-bong-bing, the messages sing
Fragmented minds on digital strings
Quick question culture, attention thieves
Productivity bleeds through scattered leaves
CBC tabs and Reddit feeds
Fill the gaps where focus needs

[Outro]
Notification nation thrives
While true productivity dies
Busy signals everywhere
But depth is nowhere to be found there
