[Verse 1]
Cardboard box
Everything I own in it
Plastic plant
Coffee mug that always chipped
"Good luck out there"
From a boss who never knew my name
Swipe my badge for the last time
Walk away
[Chorus]
I’m trading spreadsheets for sequins
PowerPoints for power heels
Got a camera and a calling
And a van full of ideals
I’m done clocking in for their dreams
I’m done begging them to see me
I’m shooting queens
I’m shooting scenes
Where the truth looks fierce on screen
I’m trading spreadsheets for sequins
This is my resignation theme
[Verse 2]
Early train
But it’s for my shot list now
Shopping carts
Full of herbs and frozen chow
Kitchen lights
Drag queen in a rhinestone gown
Teaching chefs to plate compassion
Like a crown
[Chorus]
I’m trading spreadsheets for sequins
PowerPoints for power heels
Got a camera and a calling
And a van full of ideals
I’m done clocking in for their dreams
I’m done begging them to see me
I’m shooting queens
I’m shooting scenes
Where the truth looks fierce on screen
I’m trading spreadsheets for sequins
This is my resignation theme
[Bridge]
We’ll turn the kitchen to a runway (hey!)
Turn the menu to a promise made
Teach the city how to taste change
One bright dish
One brave face
From the boardroom to the backline
I chose glitter over guidelines
If I fall
I fall in eyeliner
Lens up
Heart louder
Life brighter (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m trading spreadsheets for sequins
PowerPoints for power heels
Got a camera and a calling
And a van full of ideals
I’m done clocking in for their dreams
I’m done begging them to see me
I’m shooting queens
I’m shooting scenes
Where the truth looks fierce on screen
I’m trading spreadsheets for sequins
This is my resignation theme
