[Intro — no music, one voice screaming] THIS IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE THIS IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE [band slams in] OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE [Verse 1 — fast, clipped, spat] Here's the number, read it twice Truth was never in the price You bid the surface, smooth and clean Your number only bought the skin Concealed conditions, clause sixteen Already covered. Never seen. [Pre-Chorus — two voices trading lines] You said replace the drywall Now you're moving the line You said we'd fix what was broken You didn't say you'd redesign [Chorus — full aggression] NOBODY SIGNS FOR THIS NOBODY BID ON THE TRUTH YOU PRICED IT BY THE SQUARE FOOT NOW IT'S TIME AND MATERIALS CHANGE ORDER CHANGE ORDER CAN'T CLOSE IT UP — WE'VE SEEN INSIDE FIX IT ALL OR LEAVE IT OPEN WE NEVER AGREED TO EITHER ONE [Verse 2 — blame trading, faster] Who made the splice? Who knew the leak? Who painted over week by week? Who called it settling? Who called it fine? Who worked around it every time? Whose name is on the walkthrough sheet? Who signed substantial complete? [Pre-Chorus — colder] There's no line item for this No unit cost, no going rate What fixing it demands now Was never in the estimate [Chorus — full aggression] NOBODY SIGNS FOR THIS NOBODY BID ON THE TRUTH YOU PRICED IT BY THE SQUARE FOOT NOW IT'S TIME AND MATERIALS CHANGE ORDER CHANGE ORDER CAN'T CLOSE IT UP — WE'VE SEEN INSIDE FIX IT ALL OR LEAVE IT OPEN WE NEVER AGREED TO EITHER ONE [Breakdown — rhythmic shouted chant, rigid monotone, not melodic, two hostile voices alternating and increasingly overlapping] WHO KNEW WHO SIGNED WHO PAID WHO LIED WHO KNEW WHO SIGNED WHO PAID WHO LIED NOBODY EVERYBODY NOBODY EVERYBODY NOBODY — EVERYBODY — NOBODY — EVERYBODY [Final Chorus — blown out, vocals and instruments arguing independently] NOBODY SIGNS FOR THIS NOBODY BID ON THE TRUTH IT WAS ALWAYS TIME AND MATERIALS ALWAYS ALL OF IT ALL THE WAY DOWN CHANGE ORDER CHANGE ORDER FIX IT ALL OR LEAVE IT OPEN AND NEITHER ONE AND NEITHER ONE [ABRUPT FULL STOP — complete silence] [Outro — quiet, exhausted, spoken] Get the drawings Just get the drawings ...these don't show any of this [tape stop]
