[Verse 1] When markets crash and headlines scream Don't trust the panic or the dream Ask the question traders know by heart Who's counting coins while worlds fall apart? Every crisis has its hidden winners Follow money trails like breadcrumb dinners Politicians point their fingers high While someone's portfolio touches sky [Chorus] Cui bono, cui bono Who profits when the dominoes fall? Cui bono, cui bono Follow the gold behind it all First order gains are what you see Second order's the mystery Who wins when people react with fear? That's where the real answers appear [Verse 2] Media spins the narrative wheel But check their sponsors for what's real Which institutions gain more clout? Which voices suddenly have more clout? War drums beat, the masses cheer Count the defense stocks climbing here Social movements flood the street Watch who sells them brand new feet [Chorus] Cui bono, cui bono Who profits when the dominoes fall? Cui bono, cui bono Follow the gold behind it all First order gains are what you see Second order's the mystery Who wins when people react with fear? That's where the real answers appear [Bridge] Layer one: immediate gain Layer two: reaction's chain Outrage sells, division pays Someone profits from the blaze Regulate the competition out Consolidation kills all doubt Emergency powers never fade That's how lasting fortunes are made [Verse 3] Contrarian minds dig deeper still Beyond the surface, past the thrill When everyone runs the same direction Pause and make this sharp inspection Who benefits from mass distraction? Who gains power from our reaction? The smartest money bets both sides While public opinion shifts like tides [Chorus] Cui bono, cui bono Who profits when the dominoes fall? Cui bono, cui bono Follow the gold behind it all First order gains are what you see Second order's the mystery Who wins when people react with fear? That's where the real answers appear [Outro] Ask the question, trace the thread Follow where the money's led In chaos, fortunes are born While others mourn, some count their corn
