Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hyphenated nightmares plague the page tonight
Every compound noun needs dashes bright
Sensitive-data, access-control-list grows
Change-advisory-board, the ugliness shows
Non-technical authors stumble and fall
When barriers block their writing crawl

[Chorus]
Cracks in the perfect goal
Logic breaks, control takes its toll
First-order limits, deontic confusion
ACE reveals the grand illusion
Hyphen hell and modal strife
Scalability cuts like a knife

[Verse 2]
First-order logic hits the wall
Higher-order needs beyond its call
Temporal reasoning slips away
Deontic concepts led astray
Must and must-not seem so clear
But defeasible rules disappear

[Chorus]
Cracks in the perfect goal
Logic breaks, control takes its toll
First-order limits, deontic confusion
ACE reveals the grand illusion
Hyphen hell and modal strife
Scalability cuts like a knife

[Bridge]
Users may access becomes twisted meaning
Possibility when permission was the screening
Necessity mapped where obligation should be
Policy language lost in translation spree
Enterprise thousands, domains multiply
Research-quality tools begin to cry

[Verse 3]
No compliance editors in sight
No OSCAL converters burning bright
GRC platforms stand alone tonight
Academic dreams fade from view
When enterprise scale comes breaking through
Unproven performance starts to show

[Final Chorus]
Cracks in the perfect goal
Management controls lose their soul
Hyphen barriers, logic confined
Deontic gaps leave rules behind
Tooling void and scale unknown
Perfect dreams overthrown

[Outro]
Every formal language breaks
Under pressure reality makes
ACE shows promise, flaws revealed
Management control's battlefield
