[Intro]

[Sales]
Pipeline review, nine o'clock.
One contract.
One target.
One clock.

[Verse]

The client's budget closes Monday,
Procurement leaves at five.
Every forecast bears their initials—
We can't let this one deal die.
Victoria wants another redline.
There are forty-eight hours left to lock.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Victoria]
A deadline is not evidence.

[Sales]
A deadline is the deal.

[Victoria]
A signature is permanent.

[Sales]
The revenue is real.

[Chorus]

Sign by Friday,
Put the paper on the table, make it final, make it done.
Sign by Friday,
We have carried this negotiation too far not to have won.
Every hour costs us something—
Tell me everything will be fine.

[Verse]

[Sales]
The client offers one concession:
They will shorten the notice time.
They refuse the liability ceiling,
Call the wording "enterprise."
I send Victoria three messages,
Then step into her room—
Three hundred pages lie between us
Like a contract-shaped tomb.

[Chorus]

Sign by Friday,
Put the future in the forecast, put the logo on the slide.
Sign by Friday,
There are people waiting for the news on either side.
Every warning sounds expensive—
Tell me risk can wait in line.

[Break]

[Victoria]
Risk does not wait in line.

[Sales]
Then give me terms we can accept.

[Victoria]
I did. They said no.

[Sales]
That answer kills the quarter.

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

[Sales]
Do you know what losing this means—
The layoffs it could bring?

[Victoria]
Fear of losing one agreement
Cannot make these terms less true.

[Final Chorus]

Do not sign by Friday
Just because the calendar has cornered everyone.
Do not sign by Friday
If the damage starts the moment celebration has begun.
Every hour costs us something—
Read every line, and then sign none.

[Outro]

[Sales]
The client is waiting.

[Victoria]
Then let them hear the truth.
