You Can't Fix Management

[Intro] (Office ambience) (Phone rings) "Broadcast Operations." "Yeah... we've got a problem." [Verse 1] End of the month. Numbers look bad. Everybody's nervous. Everybody's mad. Sales missed the target. No one wants the blame. Somebody whispers... "I think the radio's changed." Silence. Then another voice... "Yeah... That must be it." [Verse 2] One phone call. Turns into four. Four become twenty. Maybe more. Traffic calls Engineering. Engineering calls the Chief. The Chief wakes up Still holding his coffee. "What happened?" Nobody knows. Everybody talks. Nobody shows. [Pre-Chorus] Open the monitor. Open the logs. Open the spectrum. One by one... MPX... Normal. Pilot... Locked. RDS... Alive. Everything... Exactly right. [Chorus] WHO BROKE THE RADIO? Nobody did. WHO BROKE THE SIGNAL? Nobody did. You can't fix management With technology. The logs disagree. The logs... Never lie. [Verse 3] CEO joins. "What is the status?" Sales says, "We heard complaints..." Engineer smiles. Clicks one button. Looks around. "No... You heard excuses." [Bridge] Measured. Verified. Documented. Case... Closed. (Long pause) "So... ...why was the target missed?" [Final Chorus] Don't blame the transmitter. Don't blame the sky. Don't blame the satellite. Don't blame the line. If the numbers don't add up... Don't rewrite reality. You can't fix management With technology. The logs... Never lie. [Outro] (Office silence) "Meeting tomorrow... Nine o'clock." (Coffee cup) (Fade out)
