The Fractional Trap
Sobre esta canción
The bank does not hold your deposit — it sells it.
Fractional reserve banking operates on a single premise: that depositors will never all demand their money at once. The vault holds a fraction; the rest is lent out, multiplied, and lent again — building a pyramid of obligations on a foundation of nothing. Rothbard documented the mechanics in The Mystery of Banking: the bank is not a custodian — it is a counterfeiter with a government license. The credit expansion manufactures the boom. The math guarantees the bust.
The bank run is not a crisis. It is the audit.
THE VAULT IS FULL OF PROMISES — AND PROMISES DO NOT COMPOUND.
Letra Oficial
"Safe and sound... right?"
Bring me your labor, bring me your sweat I'll turn your savings into someone's debt You see a vault with a wall of steel I see a casino with a rigged wheel One coin enters, ten receipts go out Building an empire on the shadow of doubt Legalized fraud in a suit and a tie Selling you ownership of the sky
The ratio is fixed The poison is mixed Reserve is a lie The limit is sky
The Fractional Trap The structural gap Lending the phantom, keeping the real Spinning the cylinder, sealing the deal If you come for your gold, the doors will slam Welcome to the authorized hologram
Pyramid scheme with a government shield Farming the yield on a barren field I take your deposit and lend it again Creating the cycle of boom and of pain Ninety percent is illusion and air But you are too busy and blind to care Interest on nothing, profit on void Until the foundation is totally destroyed
"Attention valued customers. Due to... market volatility... Withdrawals are temporarily suspended. Your funds are safe. Do not believe the rumors. Security... remove these people. Lock it down."
The Fractional Trap The structural gap Lending the phantom, keeping the real Spinning the cylinder, sealing the deal If you come for your gold, the doors will slam Welcome to the authorized hologram
BANK RUN BANK RUN Where is it Show me the ledger It's gone Insolvent.
