lyrics

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
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
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

Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go

Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go

Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go

Watch the number go
Watch the number go
Watch the number go up
Watch the number go
