[Verse 1]
Factory floors fall silent when the workers walk away
Skilled machinists vanish, decades lost in just one day
Contract negotiations crumble, picket lines block every gate
While defense contractors scramble as delivery dates grow late
[Chorus]
People power makes or breaks the line
Human capital by design
Skills and strikes and supply decline
When the workforce shifts, the gears unwind
People power makes or breaks the line
[Verse 2]
Semiconductor wizards aging out without replacement
Young apprentices abandon trades for digital displacement
Consumer panic buying drains the shelves of critical parts
While labor shortages cascade through interconnected arts
[Chorus]
People power makes or breaks the line
Human capital by design
Skills and strikes and supply decline
When the workforce shifts, the gears unwind
People power makes or breaks the line
[Bridge]
Industrial disputes halt titanium extraction
Attrition leaves shipyards lacking welding satisfaction
Market behavior spirals when expertise evaporates
Human elements determine what the supply chain validates
[Verse 3]
Knowledge walks out company doors when veterans retire
Tribal wisdom disappears like smoke from dying fire
Labor unrest ripples through the manufacturing base
Department of Defense must map each human interface
[Chorus]
People power makes or breaks the line
Human capital by design
Skills and strikes and supply decline
When the workforce shifts, the gears unwind
People power makes or breaks the line
[Outro]
From disputes to demographics, people shape the flow
