I wrote the verse to this song at a different tempo, so it had a similar but more boppy cadence. Sadly, I realized that it sounded way too similar to a song “Stick Up” by Grandson, so I changed the tempo and riff. This one is really fun to sing. It's simple and angry, and I really love the way the lyrics sound in the verses.

Fox News will tell you that the ones that you should fear

Are people crossing borders, not the Proud Boys who are here

They tell that the immigrants are bringing doom and gloom

But the real threat to America is sitting in the board room

Complain about inflation

Well blame the corporations

Price manipulation

Just daily operations

You can’t pay your bills

Cause wall street kills

And now you learned your lesson

And now your learned your lesson,

no dreams left in America

Only golden parachutes for the rich in America

The stock market’s crashing cause it’s all a fucking game

the thing about recession is we don’t feel it the same

The wealthy and the privileged are still buying on a whim

While single parents struggle how to feed their fucking kids

With no safety net

It’s time to place our bets

Do we eat the rich?

Or just off with their heads?

You can’t pay your bills

Cause wall street kills

And now you learned your lesson

And now your learned your lesson
