DIFFERENT KIND OF PAIN Verse 1 Alarm goes off, it’s 6am Three new emails already waiting for them Boss says, “Quick call?” — that’s corporate code, For “Cancel your lunch and postpone your hope.” Got seventeen tabs and a meeting invite, About another meeting happening later tonight. My smartwatch says, “You should stand up, friend,” I said, “I’d love to, but this Zoom won’t end.” Pre-Chorus My therapist says I should find some balance, My calendar replied, “Request denied.” Chorus So turn it up, turn it up, save my soul, I’ve been living life inside a spreadsheet scroll. One more KPI and I might explode, So drop that beat and unload the load! Your sound, our passion, that’s the plan, Cheaper than therapy and easier than the gym. Good sound, good people, that’s the gain, A different kind of gain! Drop Hook Hey! Log out! Turn up! Hands up! Good sound! Good people! Different kind of gain! Verse 2 My LinkedIn feed says everyone’s thriving, Running marathons while somehow still overachieving. A startup founder wakes at four every day, Meanwhile I’m proud I found matching socks today. They say, “Optimize your morning routine!” Ice baths, green juice, and a productivity machine. I tried all that for about a week, Then I found music and better sleep. Pre-Chorus Some people chase a million followers, I just want one weekend with no notifications. Chorus So turn it up, turn it up, save my soul, I’ve been living life inside a spreadsheet scroll. One more dashboard, one more goal, I need a bassline more than another role. Your sound, our passion, that’s the plan, Making stressed-out adults dance again. Good sound, good people, that’s the gain, A different kind of gain! Bridge At weddings nobody asks about Q3, Nobody cares about your productivity. No one’s discussing quarterly trends, They’re busy singing badly with their friends. For one whole night we forget our tasks, Nobody’s wearing their professional mask. The CFO’s dancing, the interns too, And even HR’s doing something they can’t put in a review. Build-Up Close the laptop! Mute the chat! Nobody ever got a promotion for replying that fast! Final Chorus Turn it up, turn it up, here we go, Life is more than inbox overload. Take a breath, take a break, lose control, And let the music do what meetings never could. Your sound, our passion, that’s the game, Bringing people together again and again. Good sound, good people, that’s the gain, A different kind of pain! Outro If you’re listening to this during a meeting… You probably deserve a raise.
