[Verse 1] When the code breaks down at three AM And customers are calling with their pain AI suggested every single line But someone's got to take the blame The model gave us confidence so high But regulations need a human name Someone has to sign upon the line And own the risk when systems fail [Chorus] Risk bearer, risk bearer Someone's got to stand and swear When AI generates the code Humans warrant what we share Risk bearer, risk bearer Liability needs someone there Know your domain, know what breaks That's the value that you bear [Verse 2] In healthcare, finance, safety-critical space One error could cost lives or fortunes lost The algorithm doesn't have a face Can't testify or pay the legal cost You need to map each failure mode with care Understand the blast radius and scope What controls exist, what warnings to prepare That knowledge is your professional hope [Chorus] Risk bearer, risk bearer Someone's got to stand and swear When AI generates the code Humans warrant what we share Risk bearer, risk bearer Liability needs someone there Know your domain, know what breaks That's the value that you bear [Bridge] Fluency in failure is your shield Know the landscape, every trap and mine Study how your systems tend to yield Draw the boundaries, toe the compliance line When automation speeds up every task Risk assessment keeps its human core That's the question clients always ask Who's accountable when things go wrong [Chorus] Risk bearer, risk bearer Someone's got to stand and swear When AI generates the code Humans warrant what we share Risk bearer, risk bearer Liability needs someone there Know your domain, know what breaks That's the value that you bear [Outro] AI generates but humans warrant In the age of automated code Risk bearing keeps you relevant When machines can't carry the load
