Hey! Thought I heard you say…
You were talking up some thing that I just learned about
You were looking like a fool
Let me tell you every thing that I just figured out
CHORUS
‘Cause I’ve got these opinions
Don’t you know I want to share ‘em with you?
I can’t let this silence go
So come on baby and tell me what you wanna know
Oh! I’ve been to Tokyo
And I read a book on Modern Monetary Theory
Why can’t we set the market free
It’s the only way to Build a Martian colony
CHORUS
I’ve got all these great ideas
Rattling ‘round up here
Can you hear me when I say
I know the way to convey if you’d only stay —
So come on, baby, and tell me what you wanna know
I heard a thing about the government
On a podcast, this is what it meant —
Hey where ya goin, baby, we can talk it out
Thought you were cool but I’m beginning to have my doubts
Why does everybody walk away
Before I ever get the chance to say
Every way that I could work it out
What I learned from the Randian devout
I’m being censored every time that I speak
If everybody doesn’t listen to me
What I’m saying is that actually I’m alone
So come on baby, and tell me what you want to know
CHORUS
In this market of ideas
Now there’s no one around to hear
Or believe me when I say
I’m okay for today if you'd just listen to me
Come on, baby, and tell me what you wanna know

This is awesome on a lot of levels. Love the guitar layers and the shouted couple lines in each verse. The theme is on point for these times. And “Randian devout” is hilarious wordplay!
