	Story Behind the Song Zach is an economics minor. No one knows why. Lyrics macroeconomic disequilibrium wasn't part of the plan depression recession inflation bastard speculators shrink savings disrupt finance and undermine long term projects just to make a buck off people's ignorance without giving anything back in our system a dollar's like a vote which wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have such income inequality the gap between the rich and the poor gets wider and wider every year this is not a part of capitalism; it wasn't supposed to be this way making more than you need to stay in an industry is called economic profits this isn't supposed to happen, competition's supposed to stop it the suv's and diamond rings bought by these holes in society are perfect examples of how wealth is contrary to democracy chorus: advertising everywhere this is just a market failure windfall profit billionaires a fucking bullshit market failure vast income inequality just another market failure twisted sense of producer sovereignty market failure market failure When no one can gain without someone else losing it's called Pareto optimality proponents of this static efficiency have no grip on reality common property resources like radio airwaves and ocean mining are just given away while externalities like pollution get swept under the rug John Kenneth Galbraith knows what's up he says consumer sovereignty is fucking bullshit preferences and tastes are not innate they're just a product of PR brainwashing we get every fucking day what about ethics and categoricll imperatives like equity? equal pay and civil rights and equal opportunity future generations get ignored, the rich are treated better than the poor animals can't spend money so you bet your ass they don't have rights chorus
