Phantom Planet
Turn Smile Shift Repeat
[Verse 1]
Here they come: the business men
Like a herd of cattle rumblin' in
The exchange has officially begun
Now all the offices are buzzin'
The executives are busy bees
Their watch that keeps turning the employees

[Chorus]
And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat

[Verse 2]
There's a crowd for men 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 their throats to watch their heads fall off

[Chorus]
And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
[Post-Chorus]
And decimal points and dollar signs
And taxes, penalties, and fines
He's come to cut you down, ohhh
And numbers, passwords, protocol
It's not enough to save your soul
He's come to cut you down
Bring you right back to zero

[Chorus]
And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat

[Post-Chorus]
And decimal points and dollar signs
And taxes, penalties, and fines
He's come to cut you down, ohhh
And numbers, passwords, protocol
It's not enough to save your soul
He's come to cut you down
Bring you right back to zero
