[Intro]

STATUS: GREEN.

Production unavailable.
Customers locked out.
Legal action pending.

STATUS: GREEN.

[Verse]

Green for the budget nobody spent.
Green for the audit marked "seventy percent."
Green for the test they removed from the gate.
Green for the launch with an invented date.

Every report reached executive view
After the red had been edited blue.
Every concern became "under control."
Every exception became someone's goal.

[Chorus]

No more green reports
When the system is burning.
No more perfect charts
While the customers wait.
Write the risk in full.
Write the owner and date.

[Verse]

At noon the board removed the chair
Victor occupied for fifteen years.
At twelve-oh-five, the market heard
"Insolvency protection" as the word.

The first transition slide was green.
Mara laughed once at the screen—
Not because the joke was kind,
But because some habits never die.

[Chorus]

No more green reports
When the system is burning.
No more perfect charts
While the customers wait.
Write the risk in full.
Write the owner and date.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

[Victor]

"I thought a leader's task
Was giving certainty when asked."

[Irene]

"Certainty without the truth
Is only liability."

[Breakdown]

Red means stop. Amber, decide.
Green means verified—not hidden.
Name the owner, name the debt—
No more color without proof.

[Final Chorus]

No more green reports
When the evidence is missing.
No more status decks
Built to flatter the room.
Let the warning reach the first page—
Let the smallest voice interrupt the largest stage.

[Outro]

The company entered protection
At sixteen forty-two.
The dashboard changed from green
To unavailable.

For once, the status was true.
