dorian electra - roll with the flow lyrics

[intro]
here’s a little something about a girl like me
i demand to understand the economy
i got a lot of questions been sittin’ on my mind
so let’s sit down, take your time to review line by line

[chorus]
how can you roll with the flow you can’t foresee?
how come you let go control and let it be?
how can you roll with the flow you can’t foresee?
how come you let go control, [get it for free?]

[post+chorus]
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh (roll with the flow)
oh, oh, oh
[verse 1]
each one of us makes choices based on knowledge that’s unique
circumstance of time and place
preferences and tastes [?]
when and where and what we buy and sell from week to week
collectively, these choices make a big economy
economic growth, to me, a mystery
gdp, gnp, it’s really k!llin’ me
by what means do we measure wealth?
a major indicator of economic health

[post+chorus]
alright, here it goes
i’ma give it my best shot

[verse 2]
see, wealth is what is valuable, and value is subjective
what one values depends on one’s perspective
so it doesn’t make sense to measure wealth objectively
measure quantitatively, study scientifically
’cause one man’s trash is another man’s treasure
one man’s pain is another man’s pleasure
one man’s work is another man’s leisure
all of this you must remember before you start to measure
[bridge]
oh, oh, oh
can someone please assist me?
in becoming a good economist?

[verse 3]
our buddy bastion has given me a key
he says, “the bad economist looks only at the obvious”
that which can be perceived immediately
looks only at the first effects
ignores all further consequences

[verse 4]
every choice has opportunity costs
choosing one thing comes with the cost of forgoing your next best alternative
you can spend it one direction and say it’s peachy keen
but alas, you have forgotten that which is not seen
sure, if you break my window, the glass may get some dough
but where would that cash have gone had that window not been broken?
stand up to the shoeman, now i can’t buy those shoes
that’s the cost of destruction, and someone’s gotta lose

[verse 5]
we could produce guns for a disaster war
or we could use funds for what they’re best used for
who knows what “best” is?
no one mind knows best for sure
where does this leave us?
left up to each one of y’all
[bridge]
oh, can someone please assist?
i wanna be, i wanna be
a good economist, economist, economist

[verse 6]
keynes, he won’t stop callin’, he keeps blowin’ up my phone
he wants to teach me something, and he won’t leave me alone
i tell him, “there’s no use in tryin'”
’cause friedrich hayek, he’s my guy

[pre+chorus]
and if you wanna get with a girl like me
you gotta let go control of the economy
if you wanna get with a girl like me
you gotta let go control of the economy

[chorus]
how can you roll with the flow you can’t foresee?
(if you wanna get with a girl like me)
how come you let go control and let it be?
(you gotta let go control of the economy)
how can you roll with the flow you can’t foresee?
(if you wanna get with a girl like me)
how come you let go control, [get it for free?]
(you gotta let go control of the economy)
