The Quarter Sings

The GDP print is a quarterly snapshot of the goods and services produced in an economy. "The Quarter Sings" turns that measure into a bright, danceable pop refrain without guessing whether the number rose or fell.

[Verse 1] Calendar pages on a kitchen wall Receipts and machines in the evening glow Every little service, everything we make Turns into a number when the quarter breaks

[Pre-Chorus] No crystal ball, no promise in the air Just a measured frame of what was there

[Chorus] GDP print, tells what we make Goods and services in a quarter's shape GDP print, a snapshot in time The size of the output in a single line GDP print, let the number ring A read on the work of everything

[Verse 2] A ride across town, a meal on a plate A new line running through a factory gate The books close softly, the figures come through A quarter of motion in a number we can view

[Pre-Chorus] No crystal ball, no promise in the air Just a measured frame of what was there

[Chorus] GDP print, tells what we make Goods and services in a quarter's shape GDP print, a snapshot in time The size of the output in a single line GDP print, let the number ring A read on the work of everything

[Bridge] When the headlines spin and the screens turn bright We take one breath and read the line What was produced, what filled the day A measured story of the quarter's way

[Final Chorus] GDP print, tells what we make Goods and services in a quarter's shape GDP print, a snapshot in time The size of the output in a single line GDP print, let the number ring A read on the work of everything GDP print, hear the whole thing sing A quarter in motion, a number with wings

[Outro] GDP print The quarter sings
