[Verse 1] When catastrophe strikes without warning bells Your empire could crumble or barely survive Strip away the extras, what essential dwells In your core machinery to keep dreams alive Which heartbeat positions, which data streams flow Which revenue arteries, which compliance chains Which partnerships matter when storms overthrow The comfortable surplus your business maintains [Chorus] Minimum viable, skeleton crew Cash flow essential, stakeholders true People and systems, the regulatory few Test every nightmare, will these pull you through? Minimum viable, bare bones and lean What's the foundation beneath your machine? [Verse 2] COVID locked the doorways, sent workers back home Could your skeleton function with half the staff? Ukraine shows us warfare in our modern chrome Would supply chains shatter, would customers laugh? Currency crashing fifty percent overnight Bank accounts slashing, purchasing power gone Would your slimmed operations still burn bright Or fade to darkness by the following dawn? [Chorus] Minimum viable, skeleton crew Cash flow essential, stakeholders true People and systems, the regulatory few Test every nightmare, will these pull you through? Minimum viable, bare bones and lean What's the foundation beneath your machine? [Bridge] Map your dependencies, trace every thread Regulatory deadlines that can't be ignored Customer loyalty hanging by a thread Which partnerships vanish, which stay aboard? Black swan scenarios, stress-test your frame Will the skeleton hold when the flood waters came? [Chorus] Minimum viable, skeleton crew Cash flow essential, stakeholders true People and systems, the regulatory few Test every nightmare, will these pull you through? Minimum viable, bare bones and lean What's the foundation beneath your machine? [Outro] Define survival in concrete terms tonight Tomorrow's black swan won't give you time to think twice
