[Verse 1] When parties sign a deal today They're dancing with uncertainty Performance failures, market sway Legal claims and liability Every contract tells a story Of who bears what when things go wrong Risk allocation's not just theory It's the backbone keeping deals strong [Chorus] Risk is real, allocation's key Who pays when problems arise? Identify, quantify, agree No surprises, no disguise Share the load or shift it all Make it clear before you sign When the dominoes start to fall Who's responsible by design? [Verse 2] Commercial risk lives in the market Currency swings and supply chains While legal risk hits like a target Breach of contract, damage claims Financial exposure grows each day Credit risk and payment terms Operational costs can't go away Performance standards, what each party learns [Chorus] Risk is real, allocation's key Who pays when problems arise? Identify, quantify, agree No surprises, no disguise Share the load or shift it all Make it clear before you sign When the dominoes start to fall Who's responsible by design? [Bridge] Indemnification clauses Limitation caps and exclusions Insurance requirements with no pauses Warranty disclaimers and conclusions Force majeure when nature strikes Termination rights when deals go south Each provision sets the spikes That determine who pays out [Verse 3] Negotiate with eyes wide open Every risk must find a home Some risks shared, some risks are broken Down to where they best belong The stronger party often wins But fairness keeps the deal alive Smart allocation always begins With knowing how both sides will thrive [Chorus] Risk is real, allocation's key Who pays when problems arise? Identify, quantify, agree No surprises, no disguise Share the load or shift it all Make it clear before you sign When the dominoes start to fall Who's responsible by design? [Outro] In every deal the risks remain But allocation makes them clear Share the burden, share the gain And keep your contracts crystal clear
