The Capitalism Lie

I’m losing this game; might as well show my cards
This hand is rigged; I must discard
From now on, be on my guard
It’s a lie
A capitalism lie

People are dying and jumping off cliffs
Squeezed like a lemon, their blood out drips
To fill the pockets of the already rich
It’s a lie
A capitalism lie

Oh, it’s a capitalism lie
Oh, it’s a capitalism lie

Wealth creation and incentives provide a lift
Those who work hard will enjoy this gift
Tell the ironworkers on a 16-hour shift
It’s a lie
A capitalism lie

Oh, it’s a capitalism lie
Oh, it’s a capitalism lie

Inequality and concentration of wealth and power
Is the reality we face in this dark hour
Sauron and Morgoth up in their tower
It’s a lie
A capitalism lie

Oh, it’s a capitalism lie
Oh, it’s a capitalism lie
Oh, it’s a capitalism lie
Oh, it’s a capitalism lie
