[Verse 1] When government owns a business slice But market forces set the price These hybrid creatures walk the line Between public good and profit's shine Control assessment starts the game Voting power stakes the claim GBE standards paint the scene PSAB guides what should be seen [Chorus] Consolidate when you dominate Disclose the risks you can't escape Partnership weaves public-private dreams Substance over form reveals the schemes Measure fair value, track the flow Hybrid entities steal the show [Verse 2] P3 arrangements blur the edge Private partners make the pledge Infrastructure meets the test Risk allocation shows who's blessed Service concessions twist the plot Asset ownership matters not Performance standards bind the deal Financial mirrors must reveal [Chorus] Consolidate when you dominate Disclose the risks you can't escape Partnership weaves public-private dreams Substance over form reveals the schemes Measure fair value, track the flow Hybrid entities steal the show [Bridge] Crown corporations dance between Commercial hustle, public scene Related party transactions hide Behind the governmental veil Variable interest entities slide Through loopholes in the audit trail [Verse 3] Guarantees and backstops wait Behind the corporate facade's gate Contingent liabilities lurk In footnotes where the details work Segment reporting splits the view Between the old and revenue Accountability demands Transparent ledgers in all hands [Chorus] Consolidate when you dominate Disclose the risks you can't escape Partnership weaves public-private dreams Substance over form reveals the schemes Measure fair value, track the flow Hybrid entities steal the show [Outro] When business wears a government mask Proper accounting is your task
