[Verse 1]
Sarah's got a brilliant plan to streamline the whole department
But first she needs to schedule meetings with each compartment
Seven committees, fourteen signatures, three months of debate
While competitors launch products, she's still validating fate
[Chorus]
We over-consult, over-committee, over-consensus every move
Circle the boardroom, polish the proposal till there's nothing left to prove
Ask permission, seek approval, wait for someone else's nod
While the world keeps spinning faster, we're still perfecting our facade
[Verse 2]
Marcus won't submit his report, says it needs another draft
Every comma must be flawless, every footnote must be craft
Perfectionism masquerading as professional pride
While deadlines whistle past him, he's still choosing fonts to hide
[Chorus]
We over-consult, over-committee, over-consensus every move
Circle the boardroom, polish the proposal till there's nothing left to prove
Ask permission, seek approval, wait for someone else's nod
While the world keeps spinning faster, we're still perfecting our facade
[Bridge]
Regulatory maze, cultural haze, caution pays but progress stays
Frozen in our analysis paralysis days
Innovation waits while we deliberate
Every risk assessed until it's far too late
[Verse 3]
Startups in Toronto move like molasses in December
"Better safe than sorry" is the motto they remember
While Silicon Valley pivots fast and breaks things on the way
We're still asking "are you sure?" at the end of every day
[Chorus]
We over-consult, over-committee, over-consensus every move
Circle the boardroom, polish the proposal till there's nothing left to prove
Ask permission, seek approval, wait for someone else's nod
While the world keeps spinning faster, we're still perfecting our facade
[Outro]
Committees, perfectionism, validation hesitation
That's the recipe we follow across our patient nation
