Phantom Planet

Turn Smile Shift Repeat

here they come the business men like a herd of cattle rumbing in
the exchange has officially begun
now all the offices are buzzing
the executives are busy bees
they watch the ? turn in the employees

and they just turn smile shift repeat
turn smile shift repeat

there's a crowd forming on wall street
near the tallest buildings on the block
the suit has lost his fortune to stocks
there was no time to see his fatal flaw
with madness set in with the loss
now he cuts their throats to watch the heads fall off

and they just turn smile shift repeat
turn smile shift repeat
turn smile shift repeat
turn smile shift repeat

and decimal points and dollar signs
and taxes, penalties and fines
he's come to cut you down

and numbers, passwords, protocol
it's not enough to save your soul
he's come to cut you down
take you right back to zero

just turn smile shift repeat
turn smile shift repeat

and decimal points and dollar signs
and taxes, penalties and fines
he's come to cut you down

and numbers, passwords, protocol
it's not enough to save your soul
he's come to cut you down
take you right back to zero
