Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah sits in boardroom silence, watching numbers that don't add
Boss presents the quarterly targets, but the math is really bad
Normally she'd bite her tongue and let the meeting carry on
But today she's got a mission, time to right what's going wrong

[Chorus]
Disagree drill, speak your mind
Don't let errors slip behind
Generate alternatives, show the trade-offs side by side
Three minutes max to redirect
When senior stakeholders deflect
Speak up now, bring truth to light
Turn the murky crystal bright

[Verse 2]
Marketing requests a campaign, wants it launched by Friday noon
Instead of just accepting it, she sketches out a different tune
Option A is what they asked for, rushed and risky, might fall flat
Option B takes two more weeks but lands with greater impact

[Chorus]
Disagree drill, speak your mind
Don't let errors slip behind
Generate alternatives, show the trade-offs side by side
Three minutes max to redirect
When senior stakeholders deflect
Speak up now, bring truth to light
Turn the murky crystal bright

[Bridge]
Role-play with your trusted partner
Practice makes the courage stronger
VP says "We're going forward"
But you see the hidden dangers
Sixty seconds to acknowledge
Sixty more to plant the questions
Final minute offer options
Transformation through suggestion

[Verse 3]
Document each confrontation, track the outcomes good and bad
Sometimes pushback yields breakthrough, sometimes makes the bosses mad
But silence builds up toxic fog where bad decisions multiply
Better weather temporary storms than watch the whole thing die

[Final Chorus]
Disagree drill, speak your mind
Don't let errors slip behind
Generate alternatives, show the trade-offs side by side
Three minutes max to redirect
When senior stakeholders deflect
Speak up now, bring truth to light
Turn the murky crystal bright
From ambiguity to clarity tonight

[Outro]
Challenge, question, simulate
Before it gets too late
Truth emerges when we dare to communicate
