Lyrics:

this is not an economic question
it's just your quarter
it's not your decision
this is not an economic question

education?
The world is subtraction
no child will ever learn the word expression
this is not an economic question

move, move, move,
and remove

first cut lances the vision
near sighted, we made the incision
first step in the progressive movement,
blind to distance

move, move, move,
and remove

next cut removes the finger tips
the nerves split, for the synapse is economics
there was once texture,
there was once something to touch

last cut removes the voice
from now on we will all be born without a tongue
now although we have lost our voice,
we will not stop making noise

end this motion,
end this false progression
this is not an economic question
