Planet Money from Freak Frequency by Stuck

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!

Cue up the music
business is booming
broadcast the good news
that’s how it works!

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
knife in your back
saying it’s your fault
that you’ve been attacked

and they’ll pull the knife out
but just halfway
the knife reformed
and still you pay!

They couldn’t care less
If there was a billion deaths

They couldn’t care less
if there was a billion deaths
to do anything to help
would undermine the system itself

Cue up the music
the closing bell
the knife reformed
that’s how it works

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!
