#LYRICS BELOW / #NOTES
==================

Did you know the money you spend destroys the environment?
Let me explain

First Take existing prejudices and centuries of plunder and grift
Call it colonialism pretend you stop by granting Freedom

The poor you leave need society
No one accepts their currency

You offered to loan them money
If your businesses can run free

Your businesses enrich a few thugs
or dirty leaders who are corrupt

They scam their folks with austerity
Low wages in their bad currency

Meanwhile back home you close your factories
You send your people's jobs overseas

So everything gets made far away
Wastes energy to find a cheap wage

[chorus]
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

[another character interlude]
Fiat fire you are required to help the apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival

Fiat fire you are required to help the apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival

You force your currency everywhere
then blame the losers for their despair

Your citizens who struggle for work
cause they compete with currency serfs

Meanwhile the global economy
Waste carbon for fake prosperity

From minerals to factory floors
to everything we buy at the store

To hide your crimes against the species
You bastardize Financial theory

The Ivy League buys your distortion
from Adam Smith to Milton Friedman

You hoodwink people so they believe
your precedents give them agency

They slay and slander your enemies
while you control the chains they don't see

[chorus]
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

That's right the Fiat money you spend destroys the environment
what's in your wallet
