Blame It On The Schedule Verse 1 Clock says 8, the case is empty Tickets printing, slicer loud Manager strolls in with a coffee Like he’s blessing the working crowd Ask him why we’re short again Why the hours took a dive He just shrugs like it’s the weather “Hey, I barely survived” Pre-Chorus You can point at every problem Watch the logic disappear Chorus Blame it on the schedule Blame it on corporate too Blame it on the system Blame it on the moon Blame it on the labor budget Blame it on the plan Just don’t ever blame the guy Who’s supposed to be the man ⸻ Verse 2 Cheese guy strolls in twenty minutes late Still somehow the favorite child Full-time hours every week While the rest of us get dialed Bring an idea to fix the chaos Maybe streamline the line He just waves his hands dramatic “Not my rule, that’s corporate’s design” Pre-Chorus Funny how the answers change Every single time Chorus Blame it on the schedule Blame it on the store Blame it on the policies Nobody asked for Blame it on the paperwork Blame it on the plan Just don’t ever blame the guy Who’s supposed to be the man ⸻ Bridge Oh what’s that? You’re frustrated? Careful… You might get a trip upstairs Yeah that magical office Where problems go to disappear Right next to the weekly huddles We were supposed to have this year ⸻ Final Chorus Blame it on the schedule Blame it on the team Blame it on the workers Trying to keep things clean Blame it on the labor sheet Blame it on demand Just don’t ever blame the guy Who’s supposed to have a plan
