Metrics ft. Selina Sun Lyrics

If you sleep for 8 hours and feel well rested

But your sleep tracker didn't track it

Did you even sleep at all?

If you ate at an Indian restaurant

But you didn't numerically rate each dish

Did you even eat at all?

I don't know if I'm really happy

I just know what the numbers tell me

I don't need to pursue life's meaning

When I can just fill out my spreadsheet

Up and to the right

Gotta make the numbers look alright

Up and to the right

Keep em rising like degrees Fahrenheit

Up and to the right

Capital accumulation with no end in sight

Up and to the right

The worlds ending but my metrics are airtight

If you deliver multiple successful projects

But you didn't fill out your sprint

Are you a useless employee?

If you fix a lot of core problems

But you don't make a new product

How do you show shareholder value?

Your boss doesn't know if you're really useful

He just knows what the numbers tell him

He doesn't need to solve real problems

When he can just check the spreadsheet

Up and to the right

Gotta make the numbers look alright

Up and to the right

Keep em rising like carbon dioxide

Up and to the right

Employee layoffs with no end in sight

Up and to the right

The worlds ending but my metrics are airtight

Sometimes I just live in the moment

Enjoying each second as it passes over me

Loving life and all of its variety

And then I go home and fill out my spreadsheet

Up and to the right

Gotta make the numbers look alright

Up and to the right

Keep em rising like the wealth divide

Up and to the right

Covid deaths with no end in sight

Up and to the right

The worlds ending but my metrics are airtight

Up and to the right

Gotta make the numbers look alright

Up and to the right

Keep em rising like the ocean's tides

Up and to the right

Neoliberals with no end in sight

Up and to the right

The worlds ending but my metrics are airtight
