[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
How can you show
(A pile of money)
[Instrumental]
[Bass Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Verse 1]
Seems that cash
(Is a thing of the past)
Plastic and code
(Where did it go?)
Numbers on screens
(Not what it seems)
Stackin’ it high
(But nothing to show)
Digits replace
(The weight and the space)
No smell of ink
(No coins that clink)
Try to compare
(It isn’t there)
A pile of air
(Do you dare?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Swipe it, tap it
(Watch it vanish)
Count it, track it
(Can’t quite grasp it)
[Bridge]
[Guitar Solo — Riffs]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
Virtual (digital)
Sooo… how do you know
What you hold
(When there’s nothing to show… oh, oh, oh)
[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]
[Chorus]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
How can you show
(A pile of money)
Stack it up high
(Reach for the sky)
But all that you’ve got
(Is numbers that lie)
Ya know…
(It’s kinda strange)
What once had weight
(Now slips through change)
[Instrumental – Groove Break]
[Clav-style Keys, Bass Walk, Light Percussion]
[Verse 2]
Fortunes rise
(In data disguise)
Up in the cloud
(Lost in the crowd)
Flash of a trade
(Gains that just fade)
Blink and it’s gone
(Just like a con)
Wealth without form
(The new kind of norm)
Built on a screen
(Not what it’s been)
Try to withdraw
(Find the flaw)
Nothing to hold
(Nothing at all)
[Bridge 2 – Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
I dunno…
(Where did it go?)
Used to be stacks
(Now just a flow)
Invisible lines
(Define the design)
Trust in the code
(Along for the ride)
[Build – Tension Rising]
[Synth Swells, Snare Rolls, Guitar Feedback]
[Chorus – Bigger, Fuller]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
How can you show
(A pile of money)
Count it all day
(Watch it decay)
Something so big
(Can just float away)
Ya know…
(It’s kinda wild)
All of this wealth
(Feels like a file)
[Instrumental – Psychedelic Jam]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Organ Solo, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Drums Double-Time, Synth Spiral, Guitar Feedback]
[Outro – Dissolve]
[Instruments Drop Out Gradually, Leaving Piano + Ambient Synth]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
Tried to build up
(A pile of money)
[Soft Spoken]
“Balance: zero point zero…”
