Pressure down the line

Verse 1 Welcome to the daily show Where no one really seems to know What we’re building, why, or how But hey — we’re “agile” now Another plan you changed at noon Another “quick fix” coming soon You call it vision, bold and bright We call it guessing overnight Pre-Chorus You say the pressure’s from above Like gravity’s a noble cause It’s funny how it always stops Right at your office door Chorus Oh, world-class leadership, take a bow You move the blame so well somehow No structure, no design — but wow The speeches sure are strong We’re improvising every day While you just forward what they say If chaos was a cabaret You’d headline all night long Verse 2 We love the goals we never meet They’re beautifully incomplete “Results are coming any day” That’s what you’ve said since May Meetings about meetings planned To understand what no one planned A strategy that shifts each week Consistency is obsolete Pre-Chorus You say, “Mistakes? We all must grow.” That’s inspirational, we know. It’s strange how growth just seems to mean We fix what you don’t oversee. Chorus Oh, world-class leadership, what a thrill You delegate the pressure downhill Accountability? Optional. But PowerPoints? Top tier. Half the team’s updating CVs The other half’s on therapy But don’t worry — productivity Will “magically” appear. Bridge (spoken / half-sung) We’re not quitting — we’re “transitioning.” We’re not burned out — just “repositioning.” We’re not lost — we’re “redefining.” And you’re not failing — just “realigning.” Breakdown No roadmap No clue But confidence? Through the roof. If vibes were KPIs We’d all get a raise. Final Chorus Oh, world-class leadership, stand tall You never trip — we take the fall You say we’re one big team and all That’s corporate poetry When numbers fade and targets slide You’ve got the perfect place to hide Behind the phrase: “We’ve really tried.” Sincerely — yours truly. Outro So here’s to pressure from above Filtered down with care and love If passing blame were an Olympic sport You’d bring the gold home for the board.
