Capitalism Blues

“It’s 5am on Black Friday somewhere” they said
And half-off’s such a holy state of mind
They’re two for one, they’re completely new
And they’re obsolete in a week or two
Looks good on them, then it’ll look good on you
The problem’s them, the problem’s never you
Bought those capitalism blues, got those capitalism blues
From the price tag on my hat, down to the price tag on my shoes
Bought those capitalism blues, can't sell those capitalism blues
Can’t afford to not try and keep up with you
Well the more you spend, the more you save
But the more you get, the more you crave
And the less it costs, the less that you get off
Attention deficit, and a surplus of bullshit
And an algorithm that knows when you get paid
If swiping left to feel alright, then surveillance needs you up all night
We’re evolved past needing to get laid
We’re scrolling past knowing how to get laid
Got those capitalism blues, got those capitalism blues
From the price tag on my hat, down to the price tag on my shoes
Bought those capitalism blues, can't sell those capitalism blues
Can’t afford to not try and keep up with you
Illusion of choice is up next on the voice
If everything’s on sale, then nothing is
Well the more you spend, the more you save
But the more you get, the more you crave
And the less it costs, the less that you get off
Yeah the less it costs, the less that you get off
Got those capitalism blues, got those capitalism blues
From the price tag on my hat, down to the price tag on my shoes
Bought those capitalism blues, can't sell those capitalism blues
I can’t afford to not try and keep up with you
No I can’t afford to be this kind of blue
No I can’t afford these capitalism blues

Your Breath on My Mouth
02:57

Lost as we are, sick in our heads
Surviving this season by staying in bed
Nobody’s thriving, and I'm sick of the death
Calling on friends to see how we feel
Most of our reasons are feeling too real
Feeling around in the dark, creating a wheel
Fooling around in the dark, creation’s a wheel
Show me out of this age and teach me to breathe
Put your breath on my mouth and help me to see
Daydreaming when, of wherever we can
And nothing is rationed, and we all have plans
And please don’t remind me just yet, that it’s out of my hands
Confront me with failures, there’s blood on my hands
Show me out of this age and teach me to breathe
Put your breath on my mouth and help me to see
How long is a day on the sun?
Would anyone mind if I showed anyone?
Does anyone know whether anything’s real?
I just need to know, what if anything’s real?
I just need to know, what if anyone’s real?
