Nine AM Blues

[Verse 1]
That calendar reminder is a funeral bell
Ringin' in another week in this conference room cell
Got my lukewarm coffee and a practiced smile
Gonna sit right here and just nod for a while

[Chorus]
Lord, save me from this Monday meeting
While my weekend freedom is sadly retreatin'

[Verse 2]
Someone's sharing their screen 'bout the KPIs
I'm just watching the slow hand of the clock pass by
They're "circling back" and "touching the base"
I'm prayin' for a little bit of saving grace

[Bridge]
Dreamin' of a dirt road, wishin' I was gone
Instead of hearing 'bout goals we're "alignin' on"

[Outro]
The meeting's over, and it ain't even ten.
