[Intro]

Mic one — lyve.
Mic two — lyve.
Mic three — lyve.
Mic four, and nobody knows why.

[Verse 1]

Guest One's got numbers. Guest Two runs late.
Guest Three cuts in before Guest Four can state.
Leo says, "One at a time," nice and slow —
The producer scrawls one word: PERFECT. Go, go, go.

[Chorus]

Four microphones, zero answers,
Everybody wants the floor.
Four microphones, zero answers —
That's what all the microphones are for.

[Verse 2]

The tenant says the rent's too steep to pay,
The landlord says the market works that way.
A caller waits behind the glass, unheard —
The producer says, "We don't need her word."

[Chorus]

Four microphones, zero answers,
Everybody wants the floor.
Four microphones, zero answers —
That's what all the microphones are for.

[Bridge]

[Mic One]
"I was saying—"

[Mic Two]
"No, because—"

[All Four]
"I WASN'T FINISHED!"

[Maya]
"Do we ever give them longer answers?"

[Final Chorus]

Four microphones, zero answers,
Everybody wants the floor.
Every interruption proves engagement —
Tomorrow we're installing four more.

[Outro]

Guitar in.
Bayss cuts it off.
One clipped chord —
Somebody talks over it.
