Lyrics

  1. (Bass)
  2. Cloud’s just someone else’s hardware…
  3. (Tenor)
  4. But the breach? That’s still on you!
  5. (Lead)
  6. Private cloud's your datacenter, cloaked behind your fence,
  7. (All)
  8. You built it! You patch it! You pay the full expense!
  9. (Baritone)
  10. Public cloud’s like renting—compute by the byte,
  11. (All)
  12. They manage the plumbing, but you still set it right!
  13. (Tenor – fluttery)
  14. So when that S3 bucket’s leakin’ shame,
  15. (All – pointed)
  16. You can’t out-source the blame!
  17. (Lead – cheeky)
  18. In IaaS you make the pizza, with your dough and sauce and flair,
  19. (Tenor)
  20. They own the oven, but you still burn it there!
  21. (Baritone)
  22. In PaaS they prep the kitchen, and you bring just the zest,
  23. (Bass – deep)
  24. Still gotta watch your toppings, they won’t secure the rest!
  25. (All – swing)
  26. SaaS? It’s pizza delivered—
  27. (Tenor)
  28. But you still chose the meal!
  29. (All)
  30. If the order’s wrong or poisoned—guess who signs the deal?
  31. (Bass – low and slow)
  32. Don’t let convenience pass the flame…
  33. (All – crisp)
  34. You can’t out-source the blame!
  35. (Lead)
  36. They’ll patch the hypervisor, they’ll power up the stack,
  37. (Tenor)
  38. But your config and your secrets? They don’t cover that!
  39. (Baritone)
  40. You share the responsibility—yes, it’s all a chart…
  41. (Bass)
  42. But you own the accountability, right from the start!
  43. (All – resolute)
  44. No cloud can carry legal shame!
  45. (Pause… then punch)
  46. You can’t out-source the blame!
  47. (All)
  48. Cloud’s a tool, not absolution, not a shield from legal flame!
  49. Data’s yours to guard forever,
  50. You can lease the gear—not the name!
  51. (Tenor – soft)
  52. So document, encrypt, and tame…
  53. (All – strong finish)
  54. ‘Cause you… can’t… out-source… the blaaaaame!
