[Intro: Syncopated clean electric guitar, bouncing bass, crisp snare] *(Green dot, green dot...)* [Verse 1] Eight little windows glowing blue Each one knows just what to do One writes the tests, one ships the code One takes the tickets off my load At five o'clock the dashboards shine A week's work done by closing time I turn around to share the win And find the room I'm sitting in [Pre-Chorus] No hallway noise, no second guess A perfect day of progress [Chorus] **Green dot, green dot, lighting up my screen** **I've never done so much** **I've never felt less seen** Everybody answers right on time My status says available **But the green dot lies** [Verse 2] I miss the meetings running late The jokes, the arguments, the debates The someone saying, "That's not right!" Then staying late to fix it Friday night I asked a bot to write this song About where all the people've gone It said, "Of course! Here's verse two!" I didn't know what else to do [Pre-Chorus] And every little victory Feels quieter to me [Chorus] **Green dot, green dot, lighting up my screen** **I've never done so much** **I've never felt less seen** Everybody answers right on time My status says available **But the green dot lies** [Bridge: Bass and drums drop back, vulnerable vocal] I'd trade a hundred perfect replies For one friend rolling their eyes A voice that says, "You're missing something" And stays to work it through If every task gets easier Why's it harder getting through? [Final Chorus: Full band, bittersweet harmonies] **Green dot, green dot, lighting up my screen** **I've never done so much** **I've never felt less seen** Everybody answers right on time My status says available **But the green dot lies** [Outro: Instruments drop away, bass continues] The build is green The room is quiet The green dot lies... [End]
