Walking Down Wall Street

Decided I should start doing good-enough vocals. Pretty rough, couple of writing and an hour or so recording.
This is me riffing of One Day As A Lion's style. Focusing on imagery (I need to do this way more).
Lyrics:
verse 1
I'm walking down wall street on the eve of the apocalypse
And wondering why we swapped oracles for profit slips %
Despite the profits in their pockets these fucking twits
Don't even have the slightest clue what's gonna hit em
Seems like for the last 40 years almost constantly
Scientists been slapping em round the head with a hockey stick
(But) Reality is something economists aren't bothered with
When a pile of beguiling gold hold such promises
verse 2
I'm walking down Wall Street at the peak of the apocalypse
Finally the clock has ticked, the stock market's dropping quick
The era of insane wealth gain is over, that was it
Time for one last deal, grab ya grandma and hock her quick
See the suits running, eyes wild, knowing something's off
Whos gonna defend you now? Even the cops are not
As flames engulf white marble columns, I play hopscotch
Skipping to rhythm of Molotovs popping off
verse 3
I'm walking down Wall Street day after the apocalypse
We told you fuckheads from the start, but would you listen? Not a bit
Exponential growth on a finite planet?
Ya tryna hold an explosion in the palm of your hand, shit
When the smoke clears you can survey the damage
You could not have fucked it up worse if you'd planned it
You world cumbles, we're not trapped in your brain death %
I see green shoots growing through the cracks in the pavement
