Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook Need To Be Broken Up (L2 Digital Leadership Academy 2018 London))
Wrote and performed this at Kings Place in London at the L2 Leadership Academy.
Google wouldn’t exist
If Microsoft hadn’t been stopped
The greatest concentration of human capital
Just to sell another fucking Nissan
Scott is a commie pinko
At least Fox News says he is
He wants break up the big four
What’s the reason that he gives?
Is it because they’re evil (NO)
Because they don’t pay taxes (NO)
Is it because they destroy jobs (NO)
It’s because he’s capitalist
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Gotta break em up, gotta break em up
It’s very very wet
At the bottom of a strategy cascade
No plan survives contact with the enemy
I know it’s your baby, but it’s an ugly baby I’m afraid
I’m gonna demolish your strategy house with a pile of dynamite today
And Burger King makes us happier
But happiness doesn’t pay
McDonalds has a higher ROIC
Subaru can do one thing well
Preserve the occupant
When something is high weight and low variance
Sock puppet the hell out of it (but don’t use glitter)
And is Scott a hardcore socialist
Does he dream of Karl Marx?
He wants to break up the big four
Whats the reason in his heart of hearts?
Marketers are like Tigger, eternal optimists
There are 12 powers of good marketing leaders
Which I don’t have time to list
Early consensus is a bad sign
Group decisions are treacherous
There’s the deep need to conform
And the rationality of silence
Cheap capital is fighting unfair
Digital makes weapons of diligence
Amazon’s the next Sephora
People search for the names of ingredients
If you’ve got a lump of clay
You should make something every day
Don’t worry about perfection
You’ll never get it anyway
Is Scott just a great big wimp
Who’s afraid to compete
He wants to break up the big four
What could his reasons be?
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
