Check out the Swedish chat on the SUNO Discord server! ------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse] Clock in with a smile, you’re a team player now Your soul’s in the staff fridge next to the takeout “Let’s circle back” while your brain melts out Your chair’s ergonomic but your spine still shouts (“Bring your trauma, leave it at the doorway!”) [Pre-Chorus] I sent an email to the void (no reply!) I pitched my soul and watched it die (good try!) I laughed so loud I broke a rib Then had to fill out a feedback quiz [Chorus] Smile through the burnout! (Hey!) Grind it out with cheer! (Skank!) Productivity is freedom! Now cry in the bathroom mirror Smile through the burnout! (Huh!) Grin while you collapse We love a worker who’s dying But never takes a nap [Refrain] Hey-ey! Huh! Huh! Huh! Smile through the burnout! (Huh!) Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! [Verse] Get a sticker for your sadness, a badge for being tough Your Slack status says “thriving” but it’s really just a bluff They renamed depression “resilience fatigue” Then handed out kombucha and a corporate mug of tea (“A family — with quarterly ties!”) [Pre-Chorus] Caffeine shakes, my eyeballs twitch Haven’t blinked since half past six But I’m still smiling — see these teeth? I bought them with my sanity [Chorus] Smile through the burnout! (Skank!) Dance while you decay! (Skank skank!) Peak performance is eternal ‘Til H-R sweeps you away [Refrain] Hey-ey! Huh! Huh! Huh! Smile through the burnout! (Huh!) Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! [Breakdown] "We're building dreams together!" (Together!) "With synergy and pride!" "Innovation is our heartbeat!" "Work and joy, unified!" "We're flexible and fearless!" (So fearless!) "You're more than just a name!" "You're a valued human resource" — "And totally replaceable... all the same!" "Motivate. Validate. Regulate. Detonate." [Bridge] You’re not exhausted — you’re "engaged" You’re not broken — you’re "brave" You’re not unpaid overtime — You’re "a go-getter in a dynamic space" Now breathe in... and SCREAM! [Dubby Breakdown - Repeated] Burnout! Break out! Clock out! Freak out! Skank-skank-skank-skank-skank—! We love this job! (We love this job!) We hate this life! (We hate this life!) But we’ll smile, we’ll smile, we’ll smile — until we— [Final Chorus] Smile through the burnout! (Hey!) It’s all part of the show You’ll cry for help in PowerPoint With a pastel color flow Smile through the burnout! (Yeah!) Your soul’s a budget line But don’t forget to write “I’m fine” On your mandatory decline [Outro] ba-da-da... skank... ba-da-da... skank... Hey-ey... uh... hey-ey... Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Smile... through the burnout! "Team spirit never dies... just the people inside it."
