Quality Control of the Universe

The Clock punches in with the turning earth

And shift bells rings right at birth

Congratulations it’s your turn

You have a role to learn

Stars on the line like parts in trays

Galaxies drifting in spiral arrays

Made with Grok


First check the gauges of gravity

Then measure the drift of entropy

The blueprints are scribbled in cosmic dust

Remember, Tolerance means chaos by design, 

…With calibrated trust.


Pre-Chorus

With every atom signed and sealed

Every mystery is half revealed

And somewhere past the factory floor

Someone’s running quality control


Chorus

Who’s checking the stars tonight?

Who signs off on wrong and right?

Life rolls down the endless line

Stamped “approved through space and time”


We build our days from broken plans

Trying to pass what no one understands

If the universe is a soul to console

Who’s running quality control?


Verse 2

Tea rings Coffee on a desk of fate

While deadlines loom to investigate

Black holes filed as “design unknown”

Comets marked “ship as is—leave alone”


We audit dreams and patch the seams

Test the strength of impossible things

Every mind is a prototype

Running revisions through the night


Pre-Chorus

Some defects we can’t repair

Still we sign our initials there

Just hope the morning supervisor knows

We did our best with the existing workflows


Chorus

Who’s checking the stars tonight?

Who signs off on wrong and right?

Life rolls down the endless line

Stamped “approved through space and time”


We build our days from broken plans

Trying to approve what we don’t understand

If the universe is a soul to console

Who’s running quality control?


Bridge

Maybe the code was written in fire

Maybe the flaws were built in the wire

Maybe it wasn’t a test for the human race to ace

And all it needs is time and space


Final Chorus

Whose checking the stars tonight?

Maybe we’re working in borrowed light

Tiny hands in a cosmic role

Temporary witnesses of quality control.
