You ask for our collective action
When it benefits your cause
Crack open another peanut
Without taking any pause
You said this is what we wanted
It's all that we voted for
But how could we have know what was truly in store
Oh does it really satisfy you
To hear that ticker whine
The momentary dopamine
Of an upward trending line
We really do not follow
The fair trade your mind contrives
How could any number of peanuts be worth 17 lives?
Oh that's the nut economy
Just keep buying more peanuts until they set us free
Oh that's the nut economy
Doesn't make sense to me
♪
You can request our atonement
You can beg that we repent
But your words can't outweigh
The messages your actions sent
You've taken more from us
Than you've given in return
So we'll topple what you've built
And seize what we've earned
And you'll try to brand us cheaters
For taking from your stock
While you claim you're actions lawful
As you write the rules ad hoc
So we'll take all your worthless peanuts
And we'll crush them into dirt
And we'll paint all your line graph red
As we show you our true worth
In this nut economy
Just keep taking more peanuts until we can break free
From this nut economy
Never made sense to me
