lyrics

Jerome Powell crashes the plane
Everyone else takes all the blame
The Fed said the bonds would be great
Then devalued them by hiking the rates
If you bought bonds in 21
By 23 the Fed made sure you’re done

Dead banks
Dead pensions
Dead institutions
The Fed did it
Let there be no confusion

After all who sets the rates?
It’s not the member of the tribe you hate
It’s not the wokes
It’s not the based
It’s the central banks who smashed up the place
The Fed set fires to watch the blaze
And it works through smoke and haze

Dead banks
Dead pensions
Dead institutions
The Fed did it
Let there be no confusion

After the markets tanks
After the banks die
The Fed chooses who gets the money to buy
So it all ends up under Sauron’s eye
Roll out FedNow easy as pie

Dead banks
Dead pensions
Dead institutions
The Fed did it
Let there be no confusion

Oh but the Fed meant well you cry
And after all who woulda known that banks would die
From the hikes of ‘22
That all balance sheets would get shot through
That every bond buyer would die from the flu
Jerome Powell did I can prove it to you

Dead banks
Dead pensions
Dead institutions
The Fed did it
Let there be no confusion
