Placebo Currency
02:37
|

|
The initial results, from my experiment: Perception is reality, And I enjoy being affluent. It isn't counterfeit cash, It's placebo currency. Studying the effects, of what money can do for me. Gonna start making dollars, Gonna stop making cents. You should really cool it, With your talk of forgery. Imitation's the most, Sincere form of flattery. It isn't counterfeit cash, It's placebo currency. Studying the effects, of what money can do for me. Gonna start making dollars, Gonna stop making cents. Cha cha cha, Cha cha ching. Gonna start making dollars, Gonna stop making cents.

Let's Just Dance

Don't wanna dwell on, Socioeconomic disparity. Don't wanna dwell on, Intergenerational income mobility. Don't wanna dwell on, Capital gains taxation. Don't wanna dwell on, Economic stratification. Don't wanna dwell on, Sarbanes–Oxley violations. Don't wanna dwell on, Corporate tax evasions. Don't wanna dwell on, On a lack of a living wage. Don't wanna dwell on, On all this pent up rage. Let's just dance, Let loose and have some fun. Tomorrow we'll fight, The financial institutions. Don't wanna dwell on, These unfair profiteers. Don't wanna dwell on, Where we go from here. Let's just dance, Let loose and have some fun. Tomorrow we'll fight, The financial institutions.

My Legal Signature
03:17
|

|
When at restaurants, Or the grocery store, As I sign the receipt, They look on in horror. Learned to write my name, Only three years old, Couple backwards letters, Was a thing to behold. For some reason it stuck, It's too late to change, And all these years later, It looks kinda strange. It's my legal signature, oh no. It's my legal signature, I wish it wasn't though. On my driver’s license, and the deed to my house. My marriage certificate, Got groans from my spouse. Applying for loans, They think I'm a joke, Because my signature Isn't baroque. It's my legal signature, oh no. It's my legal signature, I wish it wasn't though. If the point's to confirm, My identity, Take some DNA, I swear I am me. It's not funny to send, deliveries, that require me, to sign something. It's my legal signature.

The Poorest Billionaire
02:47
|
|||
|
I may be worth ten digits, But who really cares, When your foyer escalator, Is in need of repair? I barely have any, Liquid assets, Money's so tight, Bought a used private jet. Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe is me. I'm the Poorest Billionaire. Always clipping coupons, For a new Rolex, Have sixty bedrooms, But it's still a duplex. Barely scraping by, Hate to be my heir, If I spend any more, I'll be a millionaire. Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe is me. I'm the Poorest Billionaire.

Itemized Tax Deductions
03:01

|
Haircuts, ascots, A daily dozen donuts, Sunglasses, frisbee classes, Bathtub molasses, Cotton candy, dog shampoo, A tanker truck of Elmer's glue, I've got receipts, Complete spreadsheets, For my itemized tax deductions. Whoa oh, my itemized tax deductions. French tiles, Venetian doors, Popcorn ceilings, butter floors, Ketchup-flavored mustard in jars, Tulips planted inside my car, Pet fur curlers, a bedazzled chainsaw, Trap door hinges, a concrete straw. I've got receipts, Complete spreadsheets, For my itemized tax deductions. Whoa oh, my itemized tax deductions.

The Thousand-Year Heist
02:09
|
|||
|
I've got a plan, to make us rich. it'll take patience, and compound interest. Whoa oh oh, It's the Thousand-Year Heist. it's so simple, we can't get caught. But I should mention, a small caveat. Whoa oh oh, It's the Thousand-Year Heist. Code name: Methuselah. We open an account, Deposit some money, Then just wait it out. Whoa oh oh, It's the Thousand-Year Heist. Hope to outpace inflation, And society still exists. Just like any hold up, There are a couple of risks. Whoa oh oh, It's the Thousand-Year Heist.

Armored Car
01:20
|
|||
|
Roll up to the bank, in a Toyota Tercel. Underneath it's a tank, But no one can tell. Bulletproof glass, Doors a foot thick, The rust on the hood, is just part of the trick. Normal-looking, Armored Car.

The Invisible Hand
02:45
|
|||
|
It was a stormy night, In a parking lot, Between the AMC, And the Game Stop. Walking out with, A copy of Monopoly, Got knocked to the ground, My life flashed before me. I feel an invisible hand, That's strangling me. My assailant sauntered off, Easy and care free, Turned left behind the hedge, And continued their crime spree. Know the system's rigged, No way you can compete, If you make a bet, A bet against Wall Street. I feel an invisible hand, That's strangling me.
