[Verse 1]
Sarah writes her Rego rules, thinks she's covered every case
Vendor contracts, hiring screens, security's embrace
But when the crisis hits at three AM on Tuesday night
Her perfect code can't dial the phone or make the judgment right
[Chorus]
Can't code compassion, can't compile care
Human wisdom lives beyond what algorithms declare
Procedures need people, decisions need heart
Some controls belong where the humans are
You can't code compassion, can't formalize trust
When governance matters, it's people you must
[Verse 2]
The regulator walks right in, wants policies in prose
Not curly braces, boolean checks, or conditional flows
They need the context, need the why, need stories they can read
Your elegant expressions won't fulfill their audit need
[Chorus]
Can't code compassion, can't compile care
Human wisdom lives beyond what algorithms declare
Procedures need people, decisions need heart
Some controls belong where the humans are
You can't code compassion, can't formalize trust
When governance matters, it's people you must
[Bridge]
Physical badges at the door
Business continuity's more
Than logic gates and data types
Organizational pipes run deep
Where culture flows and values keep
The real controls that never sleep
[Verse 3]
When choosing tools, remember this - not every rule's a rule
Rego shines for data flows but fails the human school
HR screening, crisis plans, and vendor relationship games
Need flesh and blood, not silicon, to handle complex claims
[Final Chorus]
Can't code compassion, can't compile care
Human wisdom lives beyond what algorithms declare
Know your boundaries, know your lane
Some controls can't be contained
You can't code compassion, can't formalize trust
When governance matters, choose people you must
[Outro]
Code the logic, human heart
That's where wisdom controls start
