Brian West - Manic Friday Lyrics

Six AM already, I was just in the middle of a dream,
I was checking emails, then I heard the global systems scream.
Airports in a frenzy, banks are shut down tight,
CrowdStrike pushed an update, now nothing's running right.

It's just another Manic Friday,
Wish it was a smooth day,
'Cause that's my run day,
Oh no, I got to deal with this mayday,
It's just another Manic Friday.

Gotta get to work now, but the traffic's such a drag,
Lines at every terminal, everyone's waving a red flag.
At McDonald's in Japan, cash registers won't go,
Waitrose put up handwritten signs, technology's too slow.

It's just another Manic Friday,
Wish it was a smooth day,
'Cause that's my run day,
Oh no, I got to deal with this mayday,
It's just another Manic Friday.

All of the systems crashed,
CrowdStrike's update made a splash,
CEO Kurtz says, "Oops, our bad,"
Now everyone's a little mad.

Baltic Hub's in trouble, Troopers can't respond,
911's a ghost town, I T's waving their magic wand.
Sky News hit the floor, blue screens in the air,
It's like we're back in Windows '95, and no one seems to care.

It's just another Manic Friday,
Wish it was a smooth day,
'Cause that's my run day,
Oh no, I got to deal with this mayday,
It's just another Manic Friday.

We'll reboot and restart, and maybe we'll be fine,
But for now, let's laugh it off, and drink a glass of wine.
It's just another Manic Friday!
