[Intro]
\nWhat’s the price?
\n(What’s the cost?)
\nHold on tight
\n(Or get lost!)<\/p>\n
Markets twitch
\n(Nerves are raw)
\nWe’ve all got
\n(The same law)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nGreen on the screen, then red appears
\nFear takes over, fueled by fears
\nYeah, you’re certain till the numbers fall
\nThen it’s too late to heed the call<\/p>\n
Buy the rumor, sell the news
\nPick your winners, pay your dues
\nFortunes rise and fortunes drop
\nWho’s gonna know when the music stops?<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nGreed says hold
\n(Fear says run!)
\nEverybody’s sure
\n(Until it’s done!)<\/p>\n
Watch the panic
\n(Spread around!)
\nOne bad signal
\n(Shakes the ground!)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWhat are you holding on to
\n(There’s an impending sell off)
\nNo, it’s not depending…
\n(Scoff… risk surrendering fortitude)<\/p>\n
… oh so rude….
\n(What’s with the attitude?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nBillion-dollar bets on a shaky floor
\nPromises made, then slammed the door
\nLeverage high and the margins thin
\nOne little crack and the stampede begins<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nWatch the headlines
\n(Watch the flow!)
\nWhat you think you know
\n(May not be so!)<\/p>\n
Price and value
\n(Aren’t the same!)
\nPanic selling
\n(Feeds the flame!)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWhat are you holding on to
\n(There’s an impending sell off)
\nNo, it’s not depending…
\n(Scoff… risk surrendering fortitude)<\/p>\n
… oh so rude….
\n(What’s with the attitude?)<\/p>\n
Hold on?
\n(Let go?)
\nBuy more?
\n(Who knows?)<\/p>\n
Pay the price
\n(When reason’s low!)
\nYou’ve got advice
\n(Where’d the facts go?)
\nSell-off!
\n(Shake it loose!)
\nSell-off!
\n(What’s the use?)<\/p>\n
Panic!
\n(Reaction!)
\nMarkets move
\n(With interaction!)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nWhat are you holding on to
\n(There’s an impending sell off)
\nNo, it’s not depending…
\n(Scoff… risk surrendering fortitude)<\/p>\n
… oh so rude….
\n(What’s with the attitude?)<\/p>\n
What are you holding on to
\n(What are ya gonna do?)
\nWhen the market turns
\n(… and your profit burns)<\/p>\n
Fear or reason?
\n(Choose your side!)
\nKnow your risk
\n(Don’t just ride!)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nSell-off…
\n(It’s not a prophecy)
\nSell-off…
\n(It’s a possibility)
\n… now a reality<\/p>\n
(What a shhh…) It show!
\nHold on…
\n(Let go…)
\n… time you know<\/p>\n
Know what you own…
\n(And why you hold…)
\nWhat’s with the attitude?
\n(Caveman crude)<\/p>\n
