PDCA（Panic doesn't change anything）

[Intro] Panic doesn't change anything Panic doesn't change anything Check the numbers Change the plan Do it again Do it again [Verse 1] Monday morning, coffee cold Another crisis to be told The graph is red, the target's dead Put another meeting on instead Someone says, "We need a plan" Someone says, "Let's understand" Someone says, "Who made this mistake?" Someone else says, "Let's take a break" [Pre-Chorus] Plan it Do it Check it Act Write the minutes Hide the facts Plan it Do it Check it Act Nothing changes That's a fact [Chorus] Panic doesn't change anything Running faster in the same old ring PDCA, round and round Looking for the problem we already found Plan it, do it, check it, act Paint the failure white and call it fact Panic doesn't change anything But everybody loves the sound of alarms [Verse 2] Tuesday morning, emergency Someone's made a PowerPoint to see Forty slides and twelve new charts Still don't know where the trouble starts Wednesday brings a strategy Thursday kills the strategy Friday says, "We'll start again" Monday comes around and then... [Pre-Chorus] Plan it Do it Check it Act Make a graph And hide the cracks Plan it Do it Check it Act Change the words Not the facts [Chorus] Panic doesn't change anything Running faster in the same old ring PDCA, round and round Looking for the problem we already found Plan it, do it, check it, act Paint the failure white and call it fact Panic doesn't change anything But everybody loves the sound of alarms [Bridge] "We need action!" "We need speed!" "We need data!" "We need leads!" "We need ownership!" "We need trust!" "We need someone We can blame first!" The plan was perfect The execution failed The execution followed What the plan had said So change the plan And keep the plan And change the plan Again [Breakdown] P D C A P D C A Plan Do Check Act Plan Do Check Act Same machine Different words Same mistake Different shirt [Verse 3] Quarter ends, the numbers fall Leadership sends another call "Let's align and synchronize" Everybody nods and smiles New initiative, brand new name Same old people, same old game Put the failure in a slide Add a deadline to the side [Pre-Chorus] Plan it Do it Check it Act If it fails Just change the chart Plan it Do it Check it Act If it hurts Just call it "impact" [Final Chorus] Panic doesn't change anything Running faster in the same old ring PDCA, round and round Spinning while the building's burning down Plan it, do it, check it, act Turn a nervous breakdown into a fact Panic doesn't change anything But everybody loves the sound of alarms [Outro] Plan it Do it Check it Act Panic Doesn't Change Anything Plan it Do it Check it Act See you next Monday Bring the new plan
