lyrics

"The... system... once gave us subprime mortgage collateralized debt obligations no investor could possibly truly understand[. It] now gave us stock market trades... at... unsafe speeds using order types that no investor could possibly truly understand."

A quote from Michael Lewis's Flash Boys, suggesting the same complex financial instruments that caused the Great Financial Crisis are emerging in different forms. Many financial experts say no one truly understands high frequency trading, which is so cutting edge that it's logical no one will know what each other is really up to or how far they've advanced. The background vocal has been reversed to show how your mind can trick you into thinking you know what's going on. We are terrified of having no control over what's happening in the world. Can you hear lyrics in it? Sometimes I think I can.
