Industry by The Far Meadow Lyrics

We've just had a new directive from the Ministry
It's all in the slide show they have sent
There's a shiny set of acronyms we have to learn
Client units; juveniles we serve

Stack the spreadsheets fill the tables
Let us gather in the data

There's no time for creativity or random thought
Inspiration takes up too much time
Performance indicators measure all the things we do
Stakeholders expect to see results

Stack the spreadsheets fill the tables
Let us gather in the data
Validate our sponsor's test

Fear of failure motivates our actions now
Quality control dictates or lives
Ninety-five percent of effort spent on silly tasks
Like some kind of song and dance
Creativity failed
Market potential failed
Drive and ambition failed

Creativity failed
Market potential failed
Drive and ambition failed

Creativity failed
Market potential failed
Drive and ambition failed

Creativity failed
Market potential failed
Drive and ambition failed
