Scope Creep

Scope Creep
2018 P Rogers

Down on 2nd street there’s an office suite that is incomplete
And the time line is just a laugh line on the balance sheet
It’s been one step forward and two steps back
I’ve taken to hiding in the tool shack
And the crane operator is up there fast asleep Wake up!

And the subs had a meeting, they’re talking ‘bout suing
Nobody here wants to listen ‘em
The bankers are in a huddle and they ain’t paying
We got scope creep running amuck
The contractor’s out of luck
And the architect’s on a plane to the Caymans

We got scope creep, scope creep
Scope creep….knee deep in the scope creep
Scope creep....knee deep in the scope creep.

Down at MegaTech there’s a new spec in a beta check
And they’ve gone and tweaked that thing right into a train wreck
It’s been one step forward and two steps back
It’s got a firewall any kid could hack
We can’t launch, (can’t launch) can’t launch (can’t launch)
‘Til the platform’s bullet proof

How did they run it off the rails?
Heads are rolling up on the 7th floor
But the keyboards keep on buzzin’
They’re hiring everybody’s cousin
And now they say they want 10 million more

We got scope creep, scope creep
Scope creep..knee deep in the scope creep
Scope creep..knee deep in the scope creep

Sorry Jimmy, but we’re gonna have to let you go
Sorry Bob, but we’re gonna have to let you go
Sorry Sue, but we’re gonna have to let you
Sorry Sam, but we’re gonna have to let you go…Let me go?!

Damn! With the money I spent on my new tattoo
I could have used it to buy a case for this old guitar
I’ve got dibs on this here spot
I’m bringing everything I’ve got
Right here in my shopping cart

I got scope creep, scope creep
I got scope creep, scope creep
I got scope creep, knee deep in the scope creep
Scope creep, knee deep in the scope creep
