[Verse 1] In the embryonic stage, pioneers take flight High costs and uncertainty, burning cash each night Technology unproven, markets yet unknown Venture capital feeds what may never be grown Few competitors stumble through the murky haze While losses pile up in these experimental days [Chorus] Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline Five stages marching through industrial time Embryonic burning, Growth exploding fast Shakeout survivors, Mature profits last Decline inevitable, cycles never lie Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline [Verse 2] Growth stage awakens with demand on fire Sales accelerate, margins climbing higher New players rushing to capture market share Production scaling, profits in the air Investment flows like rivers to the sea This is where fortunes multiply with glee [Chorus] Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline Five stages marching through industrial time Embryonic burning, Growth exploding fast Shakeout survivors, Mature profits last Decline inevitable, cycles never lie Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline [Verse 3] Shakeout arrives when growth begins to fade Weaker companies swept up in the blade Consolidation culls the unsuccessful crowd Only the efficient speak their names aloud Capacity exceeds what markets can consume While marginal players meet their certain doom [Bridge] Mature stage settles into steady rhythm Oligopolies control what's left within them Cash flows reliable, dividends appear But innovation stagnates year by year Then decline creeps in with substitutes As technology renders old ways obsolete [Chorus] Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline Five stages marching through industrial time Embryonic burning, Growth exploding fast Shakeout survivors, Mature profits last Decline inevitable, cycles never lie Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline [Outro] Know where you stand in this relentless wheel Investment returns depend on what you feel Every Growth Shakeout Mature Decline
