Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah gets a message late at night
Foreign recruiter wants to meet and chat
Promises of money, trips to distant sites
But something in her gut says "this smells like a trap"
She could ignore it, keep it to herself
But protocols exist to shield her wealth

[Chorus]
Report don't comply, that's the golden rule
When pressure comes knocking at your door
Don't hand over passwords like a fool
Security's what reporting systems are for
Report don't comply, let the experts decide
Your conscience stays clean when you don't hide

[Verse 2]
Marcus books a flight to Moscow next week
Pre-travel briefing shows him what to know
Clean devices, encrypted phones to speak
Designated contacts when it's time to go
Someone asks for access to the files
He remembers training through their wiles

[Chorus]
Report don't comply, that's the golden rule
When pressure comes knocking at your door
Don't hand over passwords like a fool
Security's what reporting systems are for
Report don't comply, let the experts decide
Your conscience stays clean when you don't hide

[Bridge]
Coercion attempts come in many disguises
Blackmail, bribery, emotional pleas
The policy protects from personal crises
No discipline for what you reveal in these
Unusual requests for classified data
Foreign approaches at conferences or galas

[Verse 3]
Lisa's at DefCon when a stranger appears
Asking pointed questions about her work
Claims he's just curious about her career
But intelligence interest makes her smirk
NISPOM guidelines echo in her head
She'll file the report before she goes to bed

[Final Chorus]
Report don't comply, that's the golden rule
When pressure comes knocking at your door
Don't hand over passwords like a fool
Security's what reporting systems are for
Report don't comply, let the experts decide
Your conscience stays clean when you don't hide

[Outro]
Never share credentials under duress
Report the attempt and avoid the mess
