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
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
