[Verse 1] Sarah's calendar bleeds with meetings she never chose Twenty-seven invites pile up while her real work froze Boss wants updates on the update about the quarterly review She whispers "maybe later" when her inner voice says "do" [Chorus] Hell yes or no - no middle ground between Radical candor cuts through diplomatic screen Track every meeting, tag them honestly Time ownership shows who's driving, who's just passenger at sea [Verse 2] Tom's been hedging feedback in paragraphs of fluff "Perhaps we might consider that this possibly needs stuff" Just say "This doesn't work because it breaks the user flow" Kind directness beats six layers of corporate shadow show [Chorus] Hell yes or no - no middle ground between Radical candor cuts through diplomatic screen Track every meeting, tag them honestly Time ownership shows who's driving, who's just passenger at sea [Bridge] Essential, useful, performative - three buckets for your day Kill the theater, convert the useful, keep only what pays At sunset mark each hour: chosen or defaulted drift The ratio reveals exactly where your boundaries need to shift [Verse 3] Decline one request daily for thirty spinning days Watch the muscle memory build new productive ways When someone wants your Wednesday for a status sync parade Remember your true mission isn't getting paid to fade [Chorus] Hell yes or no - no middle ground between Radical candor cuts through diplomatic screen Track every meeting, tag them honestly Time ownership shows who's driving, who's just passenger at sea [Outro] Two weeks of meeting audits tell the story straight Which gatherings feed progress, which just procrastinate Your hours are your currency, spend them with intention Guard your precious bandwidth from corporate pretension
