larry warner - compound interest lyrics

Loading...

sp+ce is dark and sp+ce is deep
but so is the vault in which we keep
one thousand years of hazard pay
where interest compounds every day
and accountants there will testify
that there’s naught we see that we can’t buy

when we signed up for deep sp+ce, we knew we’d be gone a while
so i made some arrangements that should set us up in style:
a tax+free trust receives our pay from our hard+won careers
at interest rates that double our nеt worth each seven yеars

and so we set out on our trip through interstellar sp+ce;
five hundred years we traveled, as our money grew apace
there’s thirty thousand trillion trillion dollars in the till
when some unknown caretaker breaks a seal to know our will

sp+ce is dark and sp+ce is deep
but so is the vault in which we keep
one thousand years of hazard pay
where interest compounds every day
and accountants there will testify
that there’s naught we see that we can’t buy

“if hyperdrive exists, then off of earth diversify
if not, then to develop it all proceeds please apply
and if we are successful, then the secret hold quite dear
and send someone to meet us when our target star we near.”
ten years from when we set the quest, they found the hyperdrive
and man spread to a million stars, and we own all but five
for we control all commerce, any trade must feed our trust
and every ship that moves must lease the hyperdrive from us

sp+ce is dark and sp+ce is deep
but so is the vault in which we keep
one thousand years of hazard pay
where interest compounds every day
and accountants there will testify
that there’s naught we see that we can’t buy

as we awoke from frozen sleep, we all knew what to do
we each phoned up our broker just to ask him what was new
one thousand years of compound interest leads to lovely thoughts
like assets in the range of three followed by fifty naughts

now we know everybody can’t do everything we’ve done;
this only works if you’re the first to leave your native sun
but still there is the lesson here that patience can win out:
if this week things don’t go your way, then wait the b+st+rds out

sp+ce is dark and sp+ce is deep
but so is the vault in which we keep
one thousand years of hazard pay
where interest compounds every day
and accountants there will testify
that there’s naught we see that we can’t buy
