Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bridges spanning decades, power lines humming true
Airports bustling fifty years, water pipes underground too
These concrete giants outlast trends, their foundations built to stay
While tech stocks flicker overnight, infrastructure holds the day

[Chorus]
Long Lives, Stable Flows, Regulated Shows
That's the trinity that makes infrastructure glow
Long Lives, Stable Flows, Regulated Shows
The bedrock where patient money grows

[Verse 2]
Monthly tolls keep rolling in, like clockwork they appear
Electric bills and water rates, predictable each year
No wild swings or market moods, just steady revenue streams
Essential services we all need, fulfilling basic dreams

[Chorus]
Long Lives, Stable Flows, Regulated Shows
That's the trinity that makes infrastructure glow
Long Lives, Stable Flows, Regulated Shows
The bedrock where patient money grows

[Bridge]
Government commissions set the price
Utilities can't roll the dice
Public oversight keeps returns fair
Monopoly power handled with care

[Verse 3]
Pension funds and sovereign wealth seek assets that endure
Infrastructure fits the bill when growth must be secure
Decades-long horizons match their liability profiles well
While volatile equities create a risky carousel

[Chorus]
Long Lives, Stable Flows, Regulated Shows
That's the trinity that makes infrastructure glow
Long Lives, Stable Flows, Regulated Shows
The bedrock where patient money grows

[Outro]
From railroads built a century past to fiber optic threads
Infrastructure forms the spine where civilization treads
Remember the three pillars when you analyze the space
Long lives and stable cash with regulation's embrace
