IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE COMPLIANCE

It's beginning to look a lot like C-TPAT
with portal 2.0 
I remember when 
we used paper and pen
automation is sure slow 

It’s beginning to look a lot like infringement
with every new shipment
it may just be a lark
but that’s not our trademark
We aren’t authorized to represent

A new supply chain, something with less strain
wishes the compliance dept.
Manuals that will write themselves
a helpful guide for every step 
and enforcement cops lie in wait 
for our first misstep

It’s beginning to look a lot like antidumping
with every new bearing
the little metal balls
aren’t meant for Santa Claus 
They clash with what he’s wearing

It’s beginning to feel a lot like an export license
is needed for that technology
it has some US origin
or a bad person at the end
Will force us to cop a guilty plea

A new supply chain, something with less strain
wishes the compliance dept.
Manuals that will write themselves
a helpful guide for every step 
and enforcement cops lie in wait 
for our first misstep

It’s beginning to look a lot like Force Majeure
with every passing day
Would that be FOB
when a container is lost at sea?
Who pays for the delay?
