[Verse 1]
Office towers packed with bodies, every desk in neat rows
Never questioned concentration, that's just how the workplace flows
Remote work seemed impossible, culture trumped catastrophe
Until the lockdowns hit and revealed our blind fragility
[Chorus]
Acceptance without analysis, risks we never named
Preference masquerading as decisions, leaving us defamed
Black swans demolish assumptions that we never really made
Concentration kills resilience when the music stops to fade
[Verse 2]
Supply chains snaked through single nations, China held the factory keys
Russian pipelines fueled the continent, Ukrainian wheat fed overseas
Taiwan's chips in every gadget, procurement chased the lowest cost
Risk governance never consulted till the whole system was lost
[Chorus]
Acceptance without analysis, risks we never named
Preference masquerading as decisions, leaving us defamed
Black swans demolish assumptions that we never really made
Concentration kills resilience when the music stops to fade
[Verse 3]
Turkish lira, peso plummeting, currency exposure unforeseen
Planned for fifteen percent swinging, got seventy-five percent obscene
Emerging markets seemed attractive, tail scenarios ignored
Cost of business, so they told themselves, till currencies hit the floor
[Chorus]
Acceptance without analysis, risks we never named
Preference masquerading as decisions, leaving us defamed
Black swans demolish assumptions that we never really made
Concentration kills resilience when the music stops to fade
[Bridge]
Uninformed acceptance creeping, evolution without thought
Optimization became gospel, diversification forgot
When the reckoning arrives, acceptance turns to pain
Question every concentration before you play that game
[Outro]
Map the risks before accepting, characterize the downside cost
What seems practical today might leave you forever lost
