Is It Really Urgent?

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m in a bank basement, chasing cables in the dark
VPN’s dropping, firewall won’t let me start
The database says “NO” in a language I don’t speak
And Go-Live is on Monday… but it’s already Friday this week

[Pre-Chorus]
Then my phone lights up in angry red
The subject line screams in all caps: URGENT!
I take a breath, sip my coffee, and say:

[Chorus]
Is it urgent, or is it urgent-urgent?
Do we panic now, or just pretend?
If it’s urgent-urgent-urgent
Then my weekend’s gonna end
I said urgent, or urgent-urgent?
Do we drop it all, or can it wait ‘til ten?
If it’s urgent-urgent-urgent
Well… there goes my weekend again.

[Verse 2]
I’m training the users, they’re staring at the floor
Someone raises their hand, says: “Can we change a little more?”
“It’s just one small tweak,” yeah, I’ve heard that before
That’s a two-week config… and a scope creep war

[Pre-Chorus]
And here comes a call from Legal and Compliance
They want it “yesterday” — no science, just reliance
On coffee, hope, and a miracle or two…

[Chorus]
Is it urgent, or is it urgent-urgent?
Do we panic now, or just pretend?
If it’s urgent-urgent-urgent
Then my weekend’s gonna end
I said urgent, or urgent-urgent?
Do we drop it all, or can it wait ‘til ten?
If it’s urgent-urgent-urgent
Well… there goes my weekend again.

[Bridge]
Urgent… urgent-urgent… urgent-urgent-urgent…
At what point does it stop?
Do we need a color code?
Red, double red, triple flashing red?
“System’s on fire!” – Oh, just the test environment again.
Carry on.

[Chorus]
Is it urgent, or is it urgent-urgent? (Urgent-urgent-urgent!)
Do we panic now, or just pretend? (Oh no!)
If it’s urgent-urgent-urgent
Then my weekend’s gonna end
I said urgent, or urgent-urgent? (Urgent-urgent-urgent!)
Do we drop it all, or can it wait ‘til ten? (Maybe Monday?)
If it’s urgent-urgent-urgent…

[Outro]
“Guys… it’s urgent.”
“…Is it really?”
[pause]
“…urgent-urgent.”
