[Verse 1] You're the shareholder with equity rights Section fifteen watches every move you make You're the director bound by fiduciary lights One wrong step and the law says your trust will break But you're also the employee drawing your pay Section six taxation on every dollar earned And the operational brain that runs the day Four roles in one but legally they're concerned [Chorus] Double role problem, fiction's breaking down Shareholder, director, employee, operational crown The Act treats them distinct but you're just one person Double role problem, legal incoherence worsening Four hats, one head, the system's contradiction Double role problem, analytical friction [Verse 2] Solo corporation, you're the only player But the law pretends there's separation clear Fiduciary duties to yourself as payer While you're also the one receiving every year Benefits and salaries, loans and dividends Each role has different tax implications But when all the roles in one person blend The fiction crumbles under examination [Chorus] Double role problem, fiction's breaking down Shareholder, director, employee, operational crown The Act treats them distinct but you're just one person Double role problem, legal incoherence worsening Four hats, one head, the system's contradiction Double role problem, analytical friction [Bridge] Section fifteen territory meets section six Corporate veil becomes a legal trick When you owe duties to yourself alone The artificial boundaries are overthrown Analytically incoherent they remain Four distinct roles driving lawyers insane [Chorus] Double role problem, fiction's breaking down Shareholder, director, employee, operational crown The Act treats them distinct but you're just one person Double role problem, legal incoherence worsening Four hats, one head, the system's contradiction Double role problem, analytical friction [Outro] Four roles, one person, fiction falls apart Double role problem tears the law's false heart
