Working at a Startup, Pt. 1

Lyrics

Working at a startup is a barrel of fun We got a work class culture that is second to none We got a pantry with the shelves stocked full of good snacks With your gluten free and vegan and 100 cal packs Working at a startup is a barrel of fun We got a work class culture that is second to none We got a pantry with the shelves stocked full of good snacks With your gluten free and vegan and 100 cal packs Elevator opens, wave hello to the receptionist She returns my wave I say "thank you" she says don't mention it I swipe my badge against the reader, hear a muted tone Double doors swing open and I slip into my second home Grab some mints up off the counter Next to pictures of our founder Showed up at thirty past the hour No one cares (no one cares) Along the glass all scrawled in marker lies the past of every idea amassed inside of squares A couple kernel platforms sit there undisturbed, adjacent to the board room with the sign that says "reserved" The ping pong table has red solo cups arranged into some triangles awaiting players for the evening games Working at a startup is a barrel of laughs We got a work class culture and we're having a blast We got a pantry with the shelves stocked full of good snacks With your gluten free and vegan and 100 cal packs Passed the room filled up with all the newest consoles Beyond the bathroom secured by our Amazon roles Next to the theatre that screens all of the new movies It's a standing desk where I can work and carry out my duties I kick my bean bag to the side and shake my cursor (shake my cursor) Mistype my password a few times to log onto the server (server) Dismiss the errors that I always get on boot cuz my Wi-Fi and my Ethernet are forced into the same route Lower my desk and swivel in my Herman Miller I open Slack so I can bring up what's for dinner I browse the memes a bit to give my self a chuckle Then I open up VSCode and begin to crack my knuckles (knuckles) A gentle breeze go ofting through an open window And my co-worker gets up to go and play on the Nintendo My code's compiling and the Docker won't deploy I'm gonna play Untitled Goose Game it's the only thing that brings me joy Open my e-mail and scroll down a couple pages, half the replies are to tickets sitting in their planning stages I select all mark as read and create filters for the rest Kick my office chair behind me and then start to raise my desk Click-clack on my mechanical Yeah I'm a motherfuckin' animal Yeah Vaping on that botanical Yeah Remarkdown manuals Bout an hour passes In walks my manager He mumbles something about fixing the load balancer Dials up his voicemail And skips on past the greeting Then he's right back up and on the move he's got another meeting The executives are bitching Every conference room is taken They're sitting in a circle looking somber and they're shaking Kinda thirsty better go and grab a Monster Out of our Monster fridge because we have them as a sponsor
