[Verse 1]
Sarah walks to conference room three
Another pointless PowerPoint to see
Slides about slides about quarterly trends
While real work waits and deadlines bend
Clock ticks slow, she checks her phone
Wondering why she can't work alone
[Chorus]
Sorry, sorry, automatic word
Sorry for existing, how absurd
Meetings without purpose, harmony preserved
Busyness disguised as work deserved
This is what we do instead
Empty motions fill our head
[Verse 2]
Marcus sees the flawed design
But keeps his feedback sealed behind
Polite smiles and nervous laughter
Avoiding conflict, what comes after
The broken system stays intact
While truth gets lost in diplomat
[Chorus]
Sorry, sorry, automatic word
Sorry for existing, how absurd
Meetings without purpose, harmony preserved
Busyness disguised as work deserved
This is what we do instead
Empty motions fill our head
[Bridge]
Calendar packed from nine to five
But nothing meaningful's alive
Deference trained like Pavlov's bell
Productivity trapped in shell
We mistake motion for progress made
While value withers in the shade
[Verse 3]
Linda runs from desk to desk
Looking frazzled, what a mess
"So busy" becomes her shield
While actual output stays concealed
Motion sickness, spinning wheels
But never asks what impact feels
[Chorus]
Sorry, sorry, automatic word
Sorry for existing, how absurd
Meetings without purpose, harmony preserved
Busyness disguised as work deserved
This is what we do instead
Empty motions fill our head
[Outro]
Break the pattern, question why
See through comfortable disguise
Value over theater shows
That's how real productivity grows
