Time Is the Upgrade
The second take pushes the tempo up and leans harder into its clock-tick percussion motif.

Lyrics
Time is the upgrade, not the machine
Tick, tick, tick, keep the calendar clean
Big machines that cost the world to run
But the keynote wasn't about a single one
Not about the coils or the beams
It was about the minutes and the in -between
Time is the upgrade, not the machine
Tick, tick, tick, Keep the calendar clean.
Time is the upgrade.
That's the call.
The clock outranks the fanciest haul.
The talk began at quarter to three.
Not a word on new technology.
Just how to guard your calendar's
So the waiting patient isn't left in the cold
Tick tick
To manage a calendar at all
Time is the upgrade
Not the machine Tick, tick, tick
Keep the calendar clean
Time is the upgrade
That's the call The clock outranks
The fanciest hoes Tick, tick, tick, time's the
upgrade Tick, tick, tick, time's the upgrade
