Phantom Planet - Turn Smile Shift Repeat Lyrics

Here they come the business men
Like a heard of cattle rumbling in
The exchange has officially begun
Now all the offices are buzzing
The executives are busy bees
They watch the gears turn in the employees

They just turn smile shift repeat
Turn smile shift repeat

There's a crowd forming on Wall Street
Near the tallest building on the block
A suit has lost his fortune to the stocks
There was no time to see his fatal flaw
The madness set in with the loss
Now he cuts at throats to watch the heads fall off

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
Bringing you right back to zero
