The Price of Hope

What’s the price of hope?
And do it rise when the economy declines?
That disconnect would often be despised
And it is
While subprime mortgages led to primest of
Ribs for a few
Me and you get barely bailed out
And history repeats
Hope gettin very expensive
To pay attention costs sanity
I’m very attentive
Every headline very aggressive and while the
President worried bout stocks down
I’m lookin for something to bring hope costs
Down before the price is insurmountable
We, Titans of the casual
Vikings of the ask for few accountable
As long as our pleasure’s bountiful
Paying for our inaction through hope
Fear and power too
So I’m tryna use this time to invest
And I hope that every caged bird sings
Til they find them a nest
All in this tiresome mess
Cause as rises hope’s price
So declines the price of regrets
