[INTRO SPOKEN RAP] [FEMALE rA] Safety-first system — there’s reasons for this shit. Real people need protection, and sometimes they need it quick. So what happens when an asshole learns to weaponise it? [beat drops] [MALE,] Oh. (Now it gets interesting.) [CHORUS — BOTH] A-V-O, A-V-O on who? Could be him, could be her — shit, anybody’ll do. Neighbour? Maybe. Ex? That’s cute. Could’ve picked your grandma— [MALE] Nah. (I choose you.) A-V-O, A-V-O on who? Black ink, white page, whole lotta grey in the truth. Allegation ain’t a verdict — everybody knows that’s true. Funny how that sentence hits when the allegation’s you. [VERSE — FAST] Claim, counterclaim, court-date carousel, one tells heaven, one tells hell. Statement gets stated, then restated well, little bit of bullshit in an official-looking shell. Tick-box, click-box, paperwork pretty, truth moves slow but procedure gets busy. Nothing’s been proven! [MALE] Fantastic news! Put that in writing. I’ll have my solicitor sending cease and desist. [FEMALE] Now spend six months proving what you didn’t do. [TONGUE-TWISTER — ACCELERATING] Prove what you didn’t, prove where you weren’t, prove what you meant when the meaning got turned. Fact-check, backtrack, context removed — How the fuck do you prove what you never fucking do? [beat cuts] [MALE] Take your time. (tick tick tock.. yeah I’ll wait on counsel, file the record, mark the timestamps.) [CHORUS] A-V-O, A-V-O on who? Could be your boss, your ex, your Auntie Sue. Could be the neighbour with a petty little feud — [MALE] Congratulations! (Today we picked you.) Defamation, injunction, here comes exhibit A. A-V-O, A-V-O on who? Protection matters — due process does too. A safety-first system can protect somebody abused — or become another weapon when the weapon is misused. [BRIDGE — DEADPAN] [MALE] Real victims need it. (Correct.) [MALE] Real danger exists. (Correct.) [MALE] Malicious misuse? Yeah, that’s where it turns ugly. [silence] [MALE] Then you’re boxed in. Every door gets watched. Every word gets filed. Every move gets copied. One email to your inbox, one letter from my lawyer. [FEMALE] That’s true… (now I’m confused…) [MALE] Good. Keep it confused. I’ll have this preserved, served, and on the record. [FINAL — BOTH, VICIOUSLY FAST] Protect the frightened. Check the facts. Protect the process. Close the cracks. Claim ain’t guilt. Fear ain’t proof. Paper ain’t magic. Ink ain’t truth. One stamped lie can wreck your name. Boxes don’t know who’s telling the truth — they just get stamped, then they swallow the room. A-V-O — [MALE] On who? Careful now — that’s liability. Put my name in it and I’m coming back with counsel. [FEMALE] They’ll nail it to your name and call that due process. [paper stamp]
