The Capitalist Blues |
| You keep telling me to climb this ladder |
| I’ve got to pay my dues |
| But as I rise, the stakes get higher |
| I’ve got the Capitalist Blues |
| When I give everything |
| I won’t have much more to lose |
| I am swimming in an ocean of sharks |
| They are telling me how I’m gonna make |
| My little mark in this cold, cold world |
| It can be such a cold, cold world |
| You keep telling me to go a little higher |
| Try to take a different view |
| But you can see I’m not inspired |
| I’ve got the Capitalist Blues |
| And if I give everything |
| I won’t have much more to lose |
| It’s not fair, it’s not right |
| I don’t know what I’m gonna do with my life |
| It’s not fair, it’s not right |
| I wasn’t born to just endure all this strife |
| Tryna make my way in this cold, cold world |
| It can be such a cold, cold world |
