It's Time for a Department Meeting

Lyrics

We mingle in the hallway
And slowly drift towards the room
In the corner of my eye, I see somebody left their office door open
I hope nothing gets stolen
At the front of the table, there’s a stack of papers
Oh God, there’s gonna be a handout
So I guess this couldn’t have been an email
Was it me who left his office door open?

We make awkward eye contact
Acknowledgments and greetings
Now it’s time for a department meeting
It’s time for a department meeting
Every second in life is fleeting
But it’s time for a department meeting
Decisions made collectively by a body self-governing
But secretly I wish for a dictator when it’s time for a department meeting

Prof. Number One is texting because he thinks that nobody sees him
Prof. Number Two’s eyes are closed, oh no, oh no, I think that she’s drooling
Prof. Number Three’s point has already been made three times, but his voice must heard
Prof. Number Four’s now interrupting because Prof. Number Three just said something absurd.

We are now two hours in
And I’d almost prefer a beating
Now it’s time for a department meeting
It’s time for a department meeting
These events just keep on repeating
when it’s time for a department meeting
Decisions made collectively by a body self-governing
But secretly I wish for a dictator when it’s time for a department meeting

It’s time for a department meeting
These events just keep on repeating
But it’s time for a department meeting
Decisions made collectively by a body self-governing
But secretly I wish for a dictator when it’s time for a department meeting
It’s time for a department meeting
We’re gonna need more comfy seating
when it’s time for a department meeting

Decisions made collectively by a body self-governing
But secretly I wish for a dictator when it’s time for a department meeting
