[Verse 1] When critics point to weakest spots In our enrichment theory plots They say the courts don't recognize Human maintenance in their eyes But wait before you walk away There's more to this than what they say Absence of precedent's not the same As losing in this legal game [Chorus] Two weak links in our chain of thought But every weakness can be fought No precedent's not negative law Challenge saved expenditure's flaw Discretionary versus need Plant the litigation seed Two weak links but we're not done Every battle can be won [Verse 2] The saved expenditure doctrine stands Well-established through the lands But dig deeper in its foundation Built on discretionary obligation When spending isn't by your choice Non-discretionary gets no voice This theory's never faced the test Of necessities at their best [Chorus] Two weak links in our chain of thought But every weakness can be fought No precedent's not negative law Challenge saved expenditure's flaw Discretionary versus need Plant the litigation seed Two weak links but we're not done Every battle can be won [Bridge] The CRA will still assess Create a litigation mess That's the third point critics make But here's the stand that we can take Sound enough to take to court That's the question and support Not compliance, but the fight Is our argument done right [Verse 3] Maintenance versus improvement here The distinction should be clear Courts haven't used this frame before But that just opens up the door Challenge what's been left untried Non-discretionary's been denied The theory that assumes all choice Needs a stronger, clearer voice [Chorus] Two weak links in our chain of thought But every weakness can be fought No precedent's not negative law Challenge saved expenditure's flaw Discretionary versus need Plant the litigation seed Two weak links but we're not done Every battle can be won [Outro] Weak points make us think it through Find the angles that are new Litigation's not compliance But it shows our legal guidance Two weak links become our strength When we go to proper length
