Lyrics:
Capitalism is a death cult
And there’s no room for error yo
It’s just constant pressure
Living check to check but it’s never enough
I had no idea it would be this rough
When I was just a youngster running around
Figured when I grew up I’d be the king of the town
But now I’m full-grown got some kids of my own
In a way I’m a king but I ain’t got no throne
And like I said in the beginning we all death cult members
Not ’cause we wanna be it’s just all we remember
So many generations of people like you and me
That was raised to be slaughtered for the hegemony
And it takes a lot of poor people to make someone rich
And when we try to vote it out man they bait and switch
And they tell us all our problems are caused by immigrants
While the ruling class goes and raise our rents
They want us all broke man it’s constant pressure
Anything that works they wanna make it lesser
Capitalism is a straight up killer
A billion dollars will make a Bond level villain
They want us all broke man it’s constant pressure
Anything that works they wanna make it lesser
Capitalism is a straight up killer
A billion dollars will make a Bond level villain
Everywhere you look man it’s exploitation
The rich take advantage of the situation
The bourgeoisie chat they don’t make nothing
They the ones who own the means of production
They own the factories business and land
And they’ll take every dollar right out of your hand
They derive their wealth from ownership not labor
They profit off the work of you and your neighbor
And on top of that bro they charge us rent
They got a way to get their hands on every god damned cent
But it’s the wage theft yo that hurts us the most
Because we doing all the work and all they do is coast
And toast to the profits that they made off our back
It’s the surplus value made from paying us crap
We all wage slaves man we all slaves to the grind
And most of us will do it ’till the day that we die
They want us all broke man it’s constant pressure
Anything that works they wanna make it lesser
Capitalism is a straight up killer
A billion dollars will make a Bond level villain
They want us all broke man it’s constant pressure
Anything that works they wanna make it lesser
Capitalism is a straight up killer
A billion dollars will make a Bond level villain
Sometimes I think about what it could be
If this society were actually free
I mean all we ever do is chase that dollar
If we didn’t have to work we’d probably have more scholars
Instead it’s idiocracy a plague on the land
Manufactured at the top all a part of the plan
If we always looking down gotta stare at the line
Then we never see that there’s a bunch of stars in the sky
And if you never look up then why would you reach
Would we even have the drive to find the knowledge we seek
And how we gonna seek it when we so damn tired
And we can’t miss no days or we’ll all get fired
So we back to the beginning with that constant pressure
We climbing up the walls like we M. C. Escher
It’s coming to a boil something’s gotta give
Everyday there’s stress this ain’t no way to live
They want us all broke man it’s constant pressure
Anything that works they wanna make it lesser
Capitalism is a straight up killer
A billion dollars will make a Bond level villain
They want us all broke man it’s constant pressure
Anything that works they wanna make it lesser
Capitalism is a straight up killer
A billion dollars will make a Bond level villain
