(1st Verse)
I've been dustin down the old Das Kapital!
Do you remember that guy? - Engels' old pal?
He said that it's Capitalism, itself, that's to blame!
And all the poor really have to lose is thier chains!
(Chorous)
And it rings true, as everywhere I see
It's all about "I" and never about "We!"
Everyone's in debt, and in fear of the sack!
And all the good jobs are gone, and they ain't comin back!
(2nd Verse)
Yes, he talked about work alienation
And how class is surplus appropriation
And forever in crises and contradiction
Capitalism can't be a stable state system
(Chorous)
(3rd Verse)
And today everything's commodity and cost
And now I heard even the American Dream has been lost
And politicians both left and right are all deaf
And so the only salvation, this side of death...
....Is the old Das Kapital!
(Chorous)
(Last Verse)
That's why I've been dustin down the old Das Kapital!
You remember that guy? - Engels' old pal?
He said that it's Capitalism, itself, that's to blame!
And all the poor really have to lose is thier chains!
