Work-From-Home Woes

 

Song 1: Work-From-Home Woes (Parody of "Workin' For a Livin'" by Bonnie Raitt)

(Verse 1)
Got my laptop open, coffee by my side
PJs still on, nowhere to hide
The kids are screamin', the dog barks with glee
Workin' from home, a symphony

(Chorus)
Conference calls all day, emails in my queue
Trying to focus, but the dishes are askew
Deadlines loom large, the pressure's on my head
Wish I could just crawl back into bed

(Verse 2)
The internet's glitching, VPN's a pain
Video meetings, everyone's the same
Fake smiles and backgrounds, a curated scene
Workin' from home, livin' the dream?

(Chorus)
Conference calls all day, emails in my queue
Trying to focus, but the dishes are askew
Deadlines loom large, the pressure's on my head
Wish I could just crawl back into bed

(Bridge)
But hey, at least I can mute the mic
When the laundry machine starts its rhythmic shtick
No commute to fight, no office attire
Just sweatpants and chaos, setting my soul on fire

(Chorus)
Conference calls all day, emails in my queue
Trying to focus, but the dishes are askew
Deadlines loom large, the pressure's on my head
Wish I could just crawl back into bed

(Outro)
Workin' from home, a love-hate affair
Maybe someday normal life will be there
But for now, I'll embrace the mess
And hope for the best in this work-from-home dress
