[Verse 1] When contracts get complex and risks run high Someone's gonna pay when things go awry Indemnification shifts the blame Moving legal burdens in the liability game Party A protects Party B From lawsuits that might come to be Hold harmless clauses drawing lines Who pays the costs and pays the fines [Chorus] Shift the risk, shift the blame Indemnification's the name of the game Hold me harmless, take the fall Standard language won't cover it all Who defends and who will pay When the lawyers come to play Custom terms when stakes are high Standard won't always fly [Verse 2] Standard language works just fine For routine deals down the line Basic harm and basic breach Standard clauses within reach But when you're dealing with IP Data breaches, third party Custom terms become the key Tailored to your industry [Chorus] Shift the risk, shift the blame Indemnification's the name of the game Hold me harmless, take the fall Standard language won't cover it all Who defends and who will pay When the lawyers come to play Custom terms when stakes are high Standard won't always fly [Bridge] Mutual versus one way street Defense duties can't be beat Caps and carve outs, scope defined Knowledge triggers peace of mind Tech products need special care Scope of coverage must be fair [Verse 3] In the tech world complications grow Standard clauses just won't flow Platform liability's on the line Custom language by design Patent trolls and copyright claims Need provisions that contain Who will fight and who will fund When the legal war's begun [Final Chorus] Shift the risk, shift the blame Indemnification's the name of the game Hold me harmless, take the fall Standard language won't cover it all Who defends and who will pay When the lawyers come to play Custom terms when stakes are high That's the clause that gets you by [Outro] When responsibility must move Indemnification's in the groove Shifting burdens, sharing cost Without it, deals get lost
