[Intro – immediate abrasive guitar riff, distorted bass, pounding drums] [Verse 1 – fast snarling female punk vocal] System's held together with a spreadsheet and a prayer, Software built in 2009 that nobody wants to dare Touch or patch or fucking question, 'cause the guy who knew it left, Half the team is doing double, other half got cut for debt. Training was a PDF that hasn't matched the job in years, Process has eleven steps and four just fucking disappear. Everybody knows it's broken. Everybody works around. Then one tiny thing goes sideways— guess who gets written down. [Pre-Chorus – aggressive build] Not the budget! Not the process! Not the fucking decade-old design! Find the person at the keyboard— [Harsh shout] THERE! THE PROBLEM'S HUMAN THIS TIME! [Chorus – massive hardcore punk vocal] HUMAN ERROR! WRITE IT IN THE FUCKING BOX! HUMAN ERROR! CASE CLOSED, PROBLEM SOLVED! BLAME THE HANDS! IGNORE THE MACHINE! IGNORE THE SHIT THAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN! HUMAN ERROR! NICE AND FUCKING CLEAN! YOU BUILT A SYSTEM MADE TO FAIL— THEN BLAMED THE HUMAN BEING! [Fast jagged riff] [Verse 2 – dense rapid shout-rap] PASSWORD ROTATION! ACCESS SPRAWL! SAME OLD ACCOUNT STILL OWNS IT ALL! PATCH WINDOW MISSED! ALERT FATIGUE! SIXTEEN WARNINGS EVERY WEEK! UNDERSTAFFED! OVERRULED! DOCUMENTATION OUT OF DATE! “WHY'D THEY CLICK IT?” GREAT FUCKING QUESTION— WHY'D ONE CLICK DECIDE YOUR FATE?! No defence in depth, no margin, no second chance when something slips, Just a perfect little failure waiting underneath your fingertips. Then management arrives with twenty-twenty hindsight ready: “Someone should've caught this.” [Growled shout] SOMEONE'S BEEN CATCHING SHIT FOR YEARS ALREADY! [Chorus – heavier] HUMAN ERROR! PUT THE NAME BESIDE THE COST! HUMAN ERROR! NOW WE KNOW WHO FUCKING LOST! BLAME THE CLICK! BLAME THE CALL! DON'T ASK WHY ONE BAD DECISION COULD COLLAPSE IT ALL! HUMAN ERROR! THAT'S YOUR PERFECT ALIBI! THE SYSTEM GETS TO STAY THE SAME— THE PERSON GETS CRUCIFIED! [Instrumental Break – frantic guitar and bass, pounding drums] [Bridge – crushing half-time punk rhythm] Humans get tired. Humans forget. Humans misread. Humans get stressed. You knew that when you built it. That's not some shocking flaw. If one exhausted person can destroy the whole fucking thing— [Low growl] YOUR SYSTEM WAS FUCKED BEFORE. [Drums accelerate] [Extended Fast Shout-Rap – relentless] YOU CUT THE STAFF! YOU CUT THE TIME! YOU CUT THE TESTING! CALLED IT FINE! YOU KILLED THE BACKUP! SKIPPED THE PATCH! IGNORED THE LOGS! REMOVED THE CHECK! YOU MADE THE WORKAROUND THE PROCESS! MADE EXCEPTIONS EVERY DAY! THEN ACTED FUCKING MYSTIFIED WHEN ONE EXCEPTION WENT THE WRONG WAY! ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS! HERE'S A ROOT CAUSE YOU CAN USE! BUILD A SYSTEM THAT EXPECTS THAT HUMAN BEINGS SOMETIMES FUCKING LOSE! MAKE IT HARD TO DO IT WRONG! MAKE IT SAFE WHEN PEOPLE FAIL! DON'T BUILD A FUCKING HOUSE OF CARDS THEN FIRE THE HAND THAT SHOOK THE TABLE! [Breakdown – brutal half-time riff] Human error? Fine. Humans make mistakes. [Growled shout] WHAT DID YOUR SYSTEM DO ABOUT IT?! [Final Chorus – explosive scream-sung vocal] HUMAN ERROR! WRITE IT IN THE FUCKING BOX! HUMAN ERROR! PRETEND THE CASE IS FUCKING CLOSED! BLAME THE HANDS! PROTECT THE MACHINE! KEEP EVERY BROKEN FUCKING PROCESS RUNNING PERFECTLY! HUMAN ERROR! HERE'S THE PART YOU NEVER SAY— [Harsh shout] IF ONE HUMAN FUCKING ERROR CAN DESTROY THE WHOLE DAMN THING— THE SYSTEM FAILED ANYWAY! [Final violent riff] [Final growl] ROOT CAUSE: BULLSHIT. [Immediate cut]
