Challenge: MADE-UP WORDS
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I probably can't take credit for this word, but I did use it as a lyric a few years back.

as I was coming up for the cadence for this one, I kept hearing old-school Beastie Boys rap ("innocuous info we us-u-ally SCROLL PAST" or something), but I'm not sure that's in my wheelhouse. Who knows.

But I hope some folks can relate.

Lyrics

a completely innocent system broadcast innocuous info we usually scroll past

something about food trucks in the parking lot or a minor award one of the bosses got

for whatever reason, to someone's eye it gave one guy a reason to reply

but by accident or for the LOLs that guy pushed the wrong button, REPLY ALL!

It's a REPLYALLPOCALYPSE sends the whole office into fits hundreds, thousands of responses, the admin flips it's a REPLY-ALL-POCALYPSE

it starts out slow, couple of people missed an innocent request "please take me off this list"

as it goes on, frustrations mount so many stupid messages in my account

some try to help, "don't push that button" but as we know, it's all for nothin'

any time now, someone's gonna lose their cool four letter words start droppin', responses cruel

dozens and dozens, a digital brawl "for God's sake, stop hitting 'reply all'!

It's a REPLYALLPOCALYPSE sends the whole office into fits hundreds, thousands of responses, the admin flips it's a REPLY-ALL-POCALYPSE

For a while, it's fun to watch twenty minutes of entertainment, it's top notch

but then it gets in the way of the work starts driving us all effing berserk

you try to ignore it, but it's for naught hours wasted, starting to feel overwrought

your tempted to contribute, but it's out of school you just go and write yourself and inbox rule!

It's a REPLYALLPOCALYPSE sends the whole office into fits hundreds, thousands of responses, the admin flips it's a REPLY-ALL-POCALYPSE
