[Intro]
What is the cost
Of your benefit
Who will likely gain
What is lost
In your spit and fit
Are you even sane?
[Verse 1]
There is the me, my, mine (mine, mine, mine)
Bringing on the end of time (all of the time)
With all the take, take, take (for God’s sake!)
What will it take to wake (wake, wake, wake)
[Chorus]
What is the cost
Of your benefit
Who will likely gain
What is lost
In your spit and fit
Are you even sane?
[Bridge]
Your economics
Make us sick
Your cost to society
Is way too mighty
[Verse 2]
The eye of the I (aye-aye I)
Makes me sigh n’ cry (tell me why?)
With all the take, take, take (look what’s at stake)
What will it take to wake (making the earth shake)
[Chorus]
What is the cost
Of your benefit
Who will likely gain
What is lost
In your spit and fit
Are you even sane?
[Bridge]
Your economics
Make us sick
Your cost to society
Is way too mighty
[Chorus]
What is the cost
Of your benefit
Who will likely gain
What is lost
In your spit and fit
Are you even sane?
[Bridge]
Your economics
Make us sick
[Outro]
Your cost to society
Is way too mighty
A NOTE ON THE ECONOMY: Are you a cost or a benefit to society?
The primary driver of the U.S. economy is you, the consumer. Your spending habits fuel demand for goods and services, which in turn stimulates economic growth and drives business activities. The government taxes largely as a result of your consumption; sales taxes, excise taxes, and other consumption-based taxes are significant sources of revenue. Moreover, consumer demand is a major contributor to pollution and climate change. The production and transportation of goods, the generation of energy, and various services required to meet consumer needs all contribute to environmental degradation. Thus, the choices and behaviors of consumers play a crucial role in shaping economic policies, government tax strategies, and environmental impacts.
