Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Started with just hiring and pay
But the century brought new rules our way
Data privacy knocked on HR's door
HIPAA, GDPR, and so much more
Employee records became our domain
Privacy training, compliance chain
What began simple grew complex fast
Scope creep hit, and it's built to last

[Chorus]
Data, cyber, SOX, and ESG
Remote work rules from sea to sea
HR absorbed what others couldn't hold
New compliance stories to be told
Privacy, security, governance too
Twenty-first century changed what we do

[Verse 2]
Cybersecurity joined the mix
InfoSec designs, but HR delivers the fix
Training rollouts through our infrastructure
Awareness programs, we make them sure
Sarbanes-Oxley brought controls our way
Access rights and duties separate each day
Payroll processes under the lens
Internal controls, compliance extends

[Chorus]
Data, cyber, SOX, and ESG
Remote work rules from sea to sea
HR absorbed what others couldn't hold
New compliance stories to be told
Privacy, security, governance too
Twenty-first century changed what we do

[Bridge]
ESG reporting, social impact metrics
DEI data collection, demographic specifics
Remote workers crossing state lines
Tax nexus issues, labor law defines
Multi-country teams, benefits complexity
Global compliance, our responsibility

[Verse 3]
From simple staffing to compliance queen
Managing obligations unforeseen
Each new regulation finds HR's door
We adapt and grow, then handle more
Default department for the unknown
Twenty-first century, how we've grown

[Chorus]
Data, cyber, SOX, and ESG
Remote work rules from sea to sea
HR absorbed what others couldn't hold
New compliance stories to be told
Privacy, security, governance too
Twenty-first century changed what we do

[Outro]
Scope keeps creeping, we rise to meet
Every challenge, we won't retreat
HR evolution, compliance complete
