Lyrics
I got an iron heart and a steady hand
I’m gonna make a score yeah, I got a plan
There’s gonna be destruction on the way
I been workin’ numbers all the night and day
With my conscience buried miles and miles away
I got a scheme to make a billion bucks
I’ll bring computers here in semi trucks
I don’t give a damn what keeps us all afloat
I’m gonna burn the banks with a line of code I wrote
And collect my cash even if it sinks the boat
Well sure enough I brought ‘em down
And ripples spread from town to town
And now most folks can barely pay the rent
And they wonder where the family savings went
But hey that’s not me ‘cause I’ve joined the one percent
I got an iron heart and a steady hand
I got financial ways you can’t understand
And there’ll be more destruction on the way
While I work my plans and live to see ‘em pay
With my conscience buried miles and miles away
Yeah my conscience buried miles and miles away
