About this song

When the boss keeps piling it on.

Lyrics

[Intro - Heavy Guitar Riff]

[Verse 1 - Gritty Male Vocal]
Four things on my desk when I punched in today
Four fires burning and they won't go away
I'm juggling chainsaws, spinning every plate
Every single one's urgent and every one is late

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the boss comes strolling in, coffee in his hand
Drops a bomb on my desk like I'll understand

[Chorus - Shouted, Full Band]
Stack it up, stack it up, pile it on
Three more things and the first four ain't done
Stack it up, stack it up, what'd you expect
I'm seven deep and I'm a nervous wreck
You scratch your head and say what's taking so long
Brother I've been buried since the crack of dawn

[Verse 2]
Monday was a fire drill, Tuesday was a fight
Wednesday called a meeting just to get the status right
I said I'd have it Friday if you'd let me be
Thursday came with three more now it's fantasy

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the boss sends an email painted urgent-red
"Just a small ask" — that's the scariest thing he's ever said

[Chorus - Shouted, Full Band]
Stack it up, stack it up, pile it on
Three more things and the first four ain't done
Stack it up, stack it up, what'd you expect
I'm seven deep and I'm a nervous wreck
You scratch your head and say what's taking so long
Brother I've been buried since the crack of dawn

[Bridge - Spoken, Sarcastic]
Boss yells out "Why isn't the budget review done?"
I said "You told me the report was priority one"
He says "Yeah but the review is due today as well"
"So knock that out first, then the report — oh and make it excel"
Both of 'em are due at five, there's no way that I can
But nothing ever adds up in a management plan

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus - Bigger, Group Vocals]
Stack it up, stack it up, pile it on
Three more things and the first four ain't done
Stack it up, stack it up, what'd you expect
I'm seven deep and I'm a nervous wreck
You scratch your head and say what's taking so long
Brother I've been buried since the crack of dawn

[Outro - Defiant]
Five o'clock hits and I'm heading for the door
You can stack it up tomorrow but tonight the war is over
Yeah tonight I'm done
I said tonight I'm done

[End]
