[Verse 1] Money on the table Borrowed for a price When rates climb higher Loans get tight House keys, school bills Cars at the curb Every tiny change Moves the whole world [Pre-Chorus] Cheap money flows Then the tap gets slow One small signal And the markets know [Chorus] Rates go up, rates go down (hold the line) That’s the lever turning now (hold the line) Rates go up, rates go down (hold the line) Feeds the fire or cools it down [Verse 2] Central bank hands Watch the lag and heat Too much spending Pushes up the beat Too much slack And jobs fall through So they nudge the wheel Till growth feels true [Pre-Chorus] If inflation bites They take away the spark If recession hits They ease the dark [Chorus] Rates go up, rates go down (hold the line) That’s the lever turning now (hold the line) Rates go up, rates go down (hold the line) Feeds the fire or cools it down [Bridge] Not a magic fix Not a perfect cure Late to the turn But still a tool One small move Can shake the room Slow the rush Or bring back bloom [Final Chorus] Rates go up, rates go down (hold the line) That’s the lever turning now (hold the line) Rates go up, rates go down (hold the line) Feeds the fire or cools it down (hold the line) Rates go up, rates go down
