Rule #8 Small Print Leads to Large Risk

(Verse 1) In markets that move at breakneck pace, I give you Ferengi wisdom, Just a taste… Rule number 8. I offer you a deal, don’t mind the small print… this offer is quite the steal! Most never read the fine print you see, how could something so small be at all risky The deal looks sweet, but Surprise! there's a twist, By the time they see it, they’re in a financial fit, Clenching fists, with a howl and moan… They could of, They should of, They better have known. (Chorus) Small print leads to large risk, oh, it's true, But for a Ferengi, it's what we do. Profit's the goal, we'll bend the rules, With a contract so fine, it's like invisible jewels, but if you don’t act smart your play the fool. (Verse 2) Now, if you're the one on the other side, You might think you've won, but oh, they've lied. The deal seemed fair, the numbers aligned, But in the print, your profit's been undermined. You signed the line, didn't read it through tisk tisk, Now your latinum's gone, financial fits! That’s the risk, when you don't look close, It’s a Ferengi trick, and, you’ve lost your shit. (Bridge) So, read every word, or you'll be the mark, In the Ferengi world, fortunes are lost in the dark. But if you're the dealer, with a plan so grand, The small print's your friend, in profit land. (Outro) 8th Rule She’s a double edged sword. Hear clear my words, Small print's the way to financial glee. But the fine print can also be your enemy. Now listen to what you’ve been told. You better read that shit, or your ears get rolled! You better read that shit, or your ears get rolled! (Verse 1) In markets that move at breakneck pace, I give you Ferengi wisdom, Just a taste… Rule number 8.
