[Verse 1] Last year's budget sits upon the shelf But zero-based means starting fresh yourself Question every dollar, every dime Justify each expense in real time No assumptions carry from before Every line item fights for something more [Chorus] Build from zero, scrutinize each cost Prove your value or the funds are lost ZBB means justify, analyze, decide No free passes from the other side Start from scratch and make your case Every budget battle face to face [Verse 2] Incremental adds ten percent more Zero-based tears budgets to the floor Activity-based units take the stage Rank by priority on every page Decision packages tell the tale Which investments fly and which will fail [Chorus] Build from zero, scrutinize each cost Prove your value or the funds are lost ZBB means justify, analyze, decide No free passes from the other side Start from scratch and make your case Every budget battle face to face [Bridge] Three funding levels for each task Minimum, current, enhanced we ask Resource allocation gets precise Sacred cows pay the same price Management reviews with sharper eyes Cutting bloat without disguise [Verse 3] Traditional budgets hide the waste Zero-based puts everything in place Time intensive but the payoff's clear Unnecessary costs disappear Fresh perspective breaks the mold New efficiencies worth more than gold [Chorus] Build from zero, scrutinize each cost Prove your value or the funds are lost ZBB means justify, analyze, decide No free passes from the other side Start from scratch and make your case Every budget battle face to face [Outro] Zero-based budgeting takes control Question everything to reach your goal
