There's one I in Microsoft Teams
And it's always watching you
It stores your Azure Active Directory data in America
Where the GDPR and your individual rights do not apply
And all American law enforcement agencies
Can demand it under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
There's one I in Microsoft Teams
And it's always watching you
And if you're not constantly engaged with it
Your status will change from Available to Idle
And your boss will notice and bring it up at your appraisal
Even though you spent the whole time doing actual fucking work
There's one I in Microsoft Teams
And it's always watching you
You finish your first meeting at 09:59
And your colleagues have already joined the 10 o'clock
And now you've either got to apologise in the chat for running late
Or shit yourself at your desk
There's one I in Microsoft Teams
And it's always watching you
You end up spending your whole day staring
At the decaying faces of your middle aged colleagues
You're so hypnotised you don't recognise your own voice shouting
YOU'RE ON FUCKING MUTE ANNABELLE
There's one I in Microsoft Teams
And it's always watching you

My Big Event
03:57
|
|||
I’d like to invite you to my big event
Please see the link below
Covid’s meant it’s held online
But we hope you choose to show
It’s held on Teams as the company
Hasn’t bought a Zoom account
Any queries, direct them to me
Please just give me a shout
Expected start is half past nine
We’ll try and keep it tight
Check software ahead of time
And you should be alright
But you haven’t saved your password
and your microphone is on
and your laptop needs an update
and your neighbour plays the drums
Good morning everyone, thanks for joining the call
If you could all turn your microphones off, we should be ready to start shortly.
Thanks for all joining the call
Direct questions to the chat
We spoke before, you may recall
At the last event we were at
I’m here to give an update
I’m here to speak to you
I’m here in isolation
If you will allow me, then I will outline
The purpose of the call
I won’t just read right off the screen
But be sure to process it all
If you’re not prepared, then slides will be shared
But take notes for your reference
For those of you
Familiar to
Teams and for veterans
But my microphone is basic
And my banter’s cold and forced
My filter is a cat and
You’ve signed up for the wrong call

Push To Talk

Are you there? Are you listening?
I’ve got a problem that I hope you’re fixing,
The red light flickers but I hear no sound,
The black screen reflects my furrowed brow.
If ignorance is bliss then I should be peaceful,
But my life up here is far from blissful,
The world keeps turning, I see it every day,
The ventilator’s humming, never felt further away,
So give me a sign so I know you’re listening,
Waking every hour in anticipation,
Neon lights and recycled air,
The vacuum of space hides my despair.
I keep on running but I get no where,
I’m dreaming of green grass and the fresh air,
But if I was to fall back down to Earth,
What would I find? It can’t be much worse.
If ignorance is bliss then I should be peaceful,
But my life up here is far from blissful,
The world keeps turning, I see it every day,
The ventilator’s humming, never felt further away,
So give me a sign so I know you’re listening,
Waking every hour in anticipation,
Neon lights and recycled air,
The vacuum of space hides my despair.
It’s been three days now, can you hear me screaming?
I might be crazy but at least I’m breathing,
If this spinning tube is to become my grave,
Then just shoot me down and I burn into flame.
Wait…am I on mute?

Good Morning
01:59
|
|||
Idleness.
A sound ferments and as such,
Untended tenants overlooked;
Connected, become assented -
I ascend. Suffer me and what I recommend!
Hitherto -
Unpowered power; A shower
of shite and blunted knives in hands
Suspended – bloodied and presented
Held in bleak and merry ascension
Good morning
You’ve got to get up because you reap what you sow
Got to get a move on, got to get up and go
Stop yawning
This is the perfect jam to start your day
Don’t let your burdens keep you down
Keep your head up, things will come around

Tory fucking pigs
How dare you spin these lies
Chat shit, get pinged
Now isolate like the rest of us
F in the chat
For the blood on your hands
F in the chat
For the lives that you've wrecked
F in the chat
For the jobs that you canned
F in the chat
Your families are next
Good luck herd
You're on your own in this
How about you pilot
My foot up your arse
F in the chat
For the blood on your hands
F in the chat
For the lives that you've wrecked
F in the chat
For the jobs that you canned
F in the chat
Your friends are next
I've got an idea
UK versus you
Now test your eyesight
On our fucking knuckles
F in the chat
For the blood on your hands
F in the chat
For the lives that you've wrecked
F in the chat
For the jobs that you canned
F in the chat
You are fucking next
We consider the matter closed

Her, The Dog And Me
02:57
|
|||
I think I'll buy a two bed flat
In Walthamstow or Brent
And I'll get myself a rescue dog
And move in with my girlfriend
But now London feels too crowded
So we'll move out of the fog
Move deep into the suburbs
Just me, her and the dog
She says she's in this with me
We'll split the mortgage and the bills
We've got a south facing back garden
We've got a three bed house to fill
And now I go to bed at half past nine
To catch the earliest train
That's standing room only
And there's leaves on the line again
In the middle of those lonely nights
And when I'm waiting in delays
I worry what I'll tell her
And I'm afraid of what she'll say
Because I wanna go back to London
That's where I need to be
Move back in to that two bed flat
Just her, the dog and me
