Lyrics
Verse
Well Keegan clocked in Monday, blinked and it’s Friday
Conan’s still debugging from last damn May
Tom’s in the war room living off spite
Eighty-hour weeks and zero daylight
Blood on the keys, sweat on the floor
Tears in the coffee, still asking for more
Pre-chorus
Loyal to the tee, wore the logo proud
Till a spreadsheet screamed louder than we ever got loud
Chorus
Eighty hours and a Happy Meal
Apparently burgers are a bigger deal
Saved the network, saved the day
But fries at midnight? straight to decay
Now Keegan, Conan, Tom stand tall
While Kordia’s lawyers pace the hall
Verse
Incident dinners at two a.m.
Cold chips, flat Coke, saving them again
No silver spoons, no corporate feast
Just keeping prod alive like a wounded beast
Didn’t bill a yacht, didn’t buy a plane
Just fed the crew so they’d still have a brain
Chorus
Eighty hours and a Happy Meal
That’s the crime that made it real
Not fraud, not theft, not some big con
Just eating food while the lights stayed on
Turns out loyalty’s got an expiry date
Right next to “context” on the CFO’s plate
Verse
Enter Eoin, CFO supreme
With a spreadsheet sword and a villain theme
Didn’t fight the breach, didn’t take the call
But boy he swung when the numbers looked small
Counted cents like they were sins
Missed the part where the company wins
Pre-chorus
Never saw Conan half asleep
Never saw Tom hold prod together with hope and caffeine
Never saw Keegan carry the load
Just saw receipts and hit explode
Chorus
Eighty hours and a Happy Meal
Eoin said “that don’t feel ideal”
But feelings ain’t facts and logs don’t lie
And judges don’t blink at a drive-thru pie
Now Eoin’s sweating in a button-down
While truth’s doing laps around courtroom town
Bridge
Logs lined up like a country choir
Emails singing “you’re gonna require
Context, timelines, reason too”
Not “vibes and optics” part one and two
Verse
Keegan said “mate, we did it right”
Conan laughed “see you in court, alright”
Tom tuned his guitar, said “place your bets
I’ll wager fries beat fake regrets”
Chorus
Eighty hours and a Happy Meal
Turns out that’s not a criminal deal
Kordia’s sweating, Eoin’s tight
When facts walk in wearing daylight
Yeah funny how truth don’t fold
And companies lose when the story’s told
Outro
So here’s to Keegan, Conan, Tom
Worked like dogs till the thanks went numb
In cyber and country one thing is true
You don’t screw your best then expect to win too
Steel guitar. Mic drop. Court adjourned. Laughter in the gallery.
