Free Donuts, Same Stress Lyrics

They say I've got the dream job, I'm living the life,

Coding all day, no trouble, no strife.

Free coffee, free donuts, what's not to love?

But it's like a factory, I push and I shove.

Pre-Chorus:

Deadlines breathing down my neck,

Code breaks, and I hit refresh.

But hey, we've got bean bags, so I guess I'm blessed?

Chorus:

Free donuts, same stress,

All the perks, but I'm a mess.

Ping pong tables, standing desks,

But my mind's a wreck, can't you guess?

They think it's cool, they think it's sweet,

But all I do is sit and repeat.

Free donuts, same old grind,

Is this the tech life I wanted to find?

They see the open office, all fun and games,

But inside my head, it's burning flames.

Midnight calls, bugs to fix,

Feels like I'm juggling dynamite sticks.

Pre-Chorus:

Deadlines breathing down my neck,

Code breaks, and I hit refresh.

But hey, we've got happy hours, I should be impressed?

Chorus:

Free donuts, same stress,

All the perks, but I'm a mess.

Ping pong tables, standing desks,

But my mind's a wreck, can't you guess?

They think it's cool, they think it's sweet,

But all I do is sit and repeat.

Free donuts, same old grind,

Is this the tech life I wanted to find?

Oh, and don't forget, unlimited vacation!

If you survive the deadlines and desperation.

But hey, the fridge is stocked with LaCroix,

Guess I should feel nothing but joy?

Chorus:

Free donuts, same stress,

All the perks, but I'm a mess.

Ping pong tables, standing desks,

But my mind's a wreck, can't you guess?

They think it's cool, they think it's sweet,

But all I do is sit and repeat.

Free donuts, same old grind,

Is this the tech life I wanted to find?

Yeah, free donuts, take your pick,

But honestly, it just makes me sick.

Same stress, different day,

But at least the snacks are free, hooray!
