Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sittin' here with my laptop open wide
Tryna write an SOP
But it's a wild ride
Each step is like fishing for a needle in the tide
Can't find the words
My thoughts collide
Formatting pictures
Man
It's a real test
Crop
Resize
Rotate
I'm feelin' so stressed
Should I center it or just align left?
Feels like a puzzle with a hundred pieces undressed
[Chorus]
I'm in the struggle
SOPs got me down
Formatting pictures
Gotta turn 'em around
These tasks ain't easy
They make a man frown
But we gonna keep pushin'
Keep holdin' our ground
[Verse 2]
Now, they want it perfect, not a dot out of place
This SOP’s gotta be a showcase
They say, “Make it sacred, like the Ten Commandments space”
But all I see are guidelines in an endless race
Adding headers, oh and don’t forget the footers
Feels like dressing windows in downtown boutiques
Should I use Times New or maybe go with Arial?
Choosing fonts, now that’s real hysterical
[Chorus]
I'm in the struggle
SOPs got me down
Formatting pictures
Gotta turn 'em around
These tasks ain't easy
They make a man frown
But we gonna keep pushin'
Keep holdin' our ground
[Bridge]
And just when you think you’ve got it all done
Client calls up, wants changes, oh what fun!
“Can we make it pop, maybe add some flair?
Oh, and those margins—can we change them everywhere?”
[Verse 3]
Now I’m dreamin' of SOPs, even in my sleep
Got tabs open so wide, almost made me weep
Flowcharts and diagrams, they’re haunting my dreams
It's like building a bible, but just with routines
[Chorus]
I'm in the struggle
SOPs got me down
Formatting pictures
Gotta turn 'em around
These tasks ain't easy
They make a man frown
But we gonna keep pushin'
Keep holdin' our ground
[Verse 3]
Now I’m dreamin' of SOPs, even in my sleep
Got tabs open so wide that, almost made me weep
Flowcharts and diagrams, they’re haunting my dreams
It's like building a bible, but just with routines
Standard Operating Procedures, are the worst
They make my fingers all swollen down
[Chorus]
I'm in the struggle
SOPs got me down
Formatting pictures
Gotta turn 'em around
These tasks ain't easy
They make a man frown
But we gonna keep pushin'
Keep holdin' our ground
