The words

Lyrics

Verse 1

New bag, new meds, new lines to run New protocols stacked on everyone Check it, log it, sign your name If it goes south, you're the one to blame Whole blood sittin’ in the back Daily checks, don’t lose track Everybody sees it, but just in case Better hope you double-check that space

Pre-Chorus

It’s one more thing, it’s always one more thing “Just a quick task,” yeah that’s what they bring…

Chorus

Add it to my list, yeah pile it high I’ll carry the weight, and not ask why More to do, more to miss, more on my plate Funny how the job grows but the pay stays the same Add it to my list, I’ll take the fall No one owns it, guess I’ll own it all New day, same shift, same old twist You won't do it, just add it to my list

Verse 2

Stock it, track it, rotate through Did my part but what about you System built but no one leads Yet problems still land back on me “Team responsibility,” that’s the line But when it breaks, it’s always mine Funny how that circle goes Accountability still remains low

Pre-Chorus

It’s one more thing, yeah just one more thing Till the pressure snaps on everything…

Chorus 2

Add it to my list, yeah pile it high Keep it comin’, I’ll get by More to do, more to miss, more on my plate Funny how the job grows but the pay stays the same Add it to my list, I’ll take the fall If it drops, it’s on me, guess I run it all New day, same shift, same old twist You can't do it, just add it to my list

Verse 3

New committee, new initiative New metric that we gotta hit Monthly audits, weekly scores Another spreadsheet, three more forms New equipment, new training day Same old check still on the way Every year they raise the bar Then act surprised when burnout starts

Pre-Chorus

It's one more thing, yeah just one more thing Till you're buried underneath everything…

Bridge

Keep it movin', don't complain Smile through it, take the strain Little more won't hurt, right? Just stay late, just one more night One more check One more form One more task gets called the norm One more policy to read One more thing they swear we need No raise No bonus No extra hands to help us Just another item waiting

Chorus 3

Add it to my list, watch it grow How far down does it go More to do, more to miss, more on my plate Funny how the job grows but the pay stays the same Add it to my list, I'll take the fall If it fails, it's on me, no shock at all New day, same shift, same old twist If it’s not your job Just add it to my list

About this song

There is a fascinating rule in the modern workplace:

Your job description may expand indefinitely.

Your paycheck, however, appears to have a much stricter growth policy.

“Add It To My List” was written from the EMS side of that experience, where every new piece of equipment, protocol, medication, checklist, audit and initiative somehow becomes one more thing to track.

Check it.

Stock it.

Log it.

Rotate it.

Sign for it.

Train on it.

Audit it.

And whatever you do:

Don't forget it.

Because while responsibility can apparently be distributed across an entire team, blame has a remarkable ability to locate one specific person.

But the song isn't really limited to EMS.

It's for anybody who's watched their job slowly accumulate responsibilities that weren't there when they started.

There's always a new committee.

A new metric.

A new spreadsheet.

A new training.

A new “quick task.”

Individually, none of them sounds like much.

That's the trick.

Nobody hands you fifty new responsibilities at once.

They hand you one more thing.

Then another.

Then another.

Eventually all those little additions become the job, and everyone acts surprised when the people carrying them start burning out.

Meanwhile, the compensation package appears to have missed several important emails.

More responsibility.

More accountability.

More things to remember.

More opportunities to be blamed when something gets missed.

Same paycheck.

So sure.

Whatever it is.

Just add it to my list.
