FA$T CA$H

The economy is tricky, it's a coordination game Like driving on the highway, knowing when to switch your lane Traffic lights coordinate those who go and stop The price of credit coordinates those who save and shop [Chorus] That fast, fast, cash how fast can you get it? Pump that gas, gas, gas, inject easy credit But will it last? Or will you regret... The market crash, crash, crash, and don’t you forget it If consumers save up, it means they're more willing To wait before spending, before shedding a shilling What they put into banks, the banks can now lend Banks lower interest rates to get producers to spend Producers borrow big, when that interest rate's low To start up big projects that take a while to grow They assume the low rate means consumers want to wait Saving up for big, big purchases at a later date [Chorus] The Central Bank has got some tricks to keep the market booming Injecting excess credit, keeps consumers consuming It keeps producers producing, but consumers won’t buy They haven’t been saving, as the interest rate would imply Green light (GO!) red light (STOP!) keeps them in check But if all the lights are switched to green, OOO! they’re gonna wreck! Consumers’ and producers’ plans get all discoordinated When the credit supply has been inflated [Chorus] Lots of easy credit’s like diluted gasoline It says the tank is full enough to fuel up your machine You get out on the open road a thousand miles away But it’s not enough to get you home, so on the road you stay [Chorus] All that fast, fast, cash seems like a dream But easy credit from the central bank turns all the lights green Everyone’s going at once, they’re gonna crash Beware of central banks pumpin’ that fast, fast cash [Chorus]
