lyrics

“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
