Planet Money

[Intro]
Don’t get it twisted
The system works
Experts agree
The system works
Big line go up
The system works
You lost your job
The system works

[Chorus]
Cue up the music
Business is booming
Broadcast the good news
That’s how it works

[Verse]
Let’s do the numbers
Dollars and cents
Their calming voice
Makes this make sense
Seeking reforms
To that same old deal
They think it’s broken
But it can heal
Bloated and bleeding
Teeth stained blood
Endlessly feeding
It’s never enough
They’ve got you trapped
Knifе in your back
Saying it’s your fault
That you’ve been attacked
And they’ll pull thе knife out
But just halfway
The knife reformed
And still you pay

[Bridge 1]
They couldn’t care less
If there was a billion deaths

[Bridge 2]
They couldn’t care less
If there was a billion deaths
To do anything to help
Would undermine the system itself

[Chorus]
Cue up the music
The closing bell
The knife reformed
That’s how it works

[Outro]
Bloated and bleeding
The system works
Endlessly feeding
The system works
Big line go up
The system works
The closing bell
The system works
Feature not bug
That’s how it works
