Who’s Paying For This?

[Verse 1]
Got a job
Came with a puzzle
Half the pieces missing from the box
Sales sold air and called it “premium”
Now I’m MacGyver with a stapler and a clock
[Chorus]
Who’s paying for this?
These extras on the list
I got duct tape
Three emails
And a promise that “we got you
Don’t resist” (yeah right)
Who’s paying for this?
‘Cause it’s sure not on my check
I’m building Rome from office memos
While they’re cashing in respect
[Verse 2]
Sales said
“Done
Totally handled”
Didn’t write a thing that we can use
Client wants a space shuttle by Tuesday
We got a scooter and some broken office shoes
[Chorus]
Who’s paying for this?
All the favors
All the fixes
They’re on lunch while I’m in meetings
Playing budget Tetris with the glitches (hey!)
Who’s paying for this?
‘Cause it’s sure not on my time
I’m the hero of the spreadsheet
They’re the legends of the bottom line
[Bridge]
CC
BCC
Everyone but me is “OOO”
“We’ll circle back” in a week or two
Cool cool cool… guess it’s just me and you
[Chorus]
Who’s paying for this?
Late nights on a shoestring wish
They sell the dream
I sweep the pieces
Turn their chaos into “flawless finish”
Who’s paying for this?
If it’s me
At least admit
When this circus hits its deadline
I’m the clown who actually did the trick

Dry, bouncy office-pop with male vocals; tight palm-muted guitar over a light, shuffling groove, bass walking playfully under deadpan verses. Chorus opens with brighter chords, tambourine, and gang shout ad-libs. Bridge strips to claps and vocal, then full-band punch back in for a snarky final hook.
