Cartel

In economics, a cartel is an agreement between competing firms to control prices or exclude entry of a new competitor in a market. It is a formal organization of sellers or buyers that agree to fix selling prices, purchase prices, or reduce production using a variety of tactics. Cartels usually arise in an oligopolistic industry, where the number of sellers is small or sales are highly concentrated and the products being traded are usually commodities. Cartel members may agree on such matters as setting minimum or target prices (price fixing), reducing total industry output, fixing market shares, allocating customers, allocating territories, bid rigging, establishment of common sales agencies, altering the conditions of sale, or combination of these. The aim of such collusion (also called the cartel agreement) is to increase individual members' profits by reducing competition. If the cartelists do not agree on market shares, they must have a plan to share the extra monopoly profits generated by the cartel.

And it's the same foregone conclusion
All the things hurt when I was young
It's the sample of delusion
Spit from everybody's tongue
And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be the one
Oh I have only just discovered who I am and where I'm coming from
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
And we can talk about solutions
Till we're red (or blue) in the face
And we can stare at our illusions
And just smile till the mirror breaks
And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be the one
Oh I have only just discovered who I am and what I have become
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
There's no accounting the days when you uncover what I see
And are you going away is where it's all in your mistake
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out
