The yield was a hook Trusted your idols now they got you shook Believed in the crooks Held up as saints while they’re cooking their books
Saved up a decade, now lost in a day Another new Enron just getting away Bigger the bet Bigger ripple effect When it all blows up it is you who will pay
Behind the ads and signs of success Pull back the curtains and what do you get? Addicts to the risk with a big safety net Made from your savings and 401k
Given to the other side of the trade Socialize losses while reaping the gains First to fall in this endless war Cos you're just a pawn in the Cantillionaires Game
When money talks you can pay for the shill, pay for the clout, pay for the thrill Pay for the media to lie to our face, distort truth so we repeat our mistakes
Sell us the dream that never delivers While raking in fees and clipping the tickets Siphoning funds from the mouth of the spigot Blind leads the blind till they're all complicit
Money is cheap got addicted to growth Commingled the risk so nobody knows How far it'll go til we're damaged collateral Another excuse for oppressive control
Government capture was part of the play Reapers of value at the end of the day We're calling for help but nobody came No bailouts for pawns in the Cantillionaires Game
When money deeply rots at the core Don't believe intentions are pure This crypto contagion stems from a system that incentivise fraud
As schemes get more complex And fallible humans left unchecked Play in the dark is how you get wrecked Turns out our economy is a large FTX
What would happen if we take our money out of rigged systems? Why protest our labor when we can pull our capital? Where would we be if our money enriched us simply by holding purchasing power? How do we build a base replacing Cantillon Effect with the will of free markets?
Step one Build an independent system to remove the risk of corruption Step two Move our savings into that system so no one can touch us Step three Earn, trade, spend, save All activities move 'em this way With our own money everything changes We're no longer the pawns in the Cantillionaires game
When money works it's hard by design Earn it by work, earn it with time Earning a larger piece of the pie Forever yours to verify
Money is data of who owns what and when Math should keep score not politician Government capture ain't part of the play So we reap value at the end of the day
So we can move value without being censor Move on from gambling to savings Move on from all of the politics Move on to the era of the internet
So we don't have to trust every word that they say So our freedom and wealth can't be taken away So we're treated and punished all the same So we can finally end the Cantillionaires Game
A large amount of people allocating capital builds a world more reflective of our needs than trusting a handful of institutions to shape the world that we live in
Knowing the truth will break the frame Now our perspective's forever changed Truth is the key for us to reclaim Open the door and exit the game
