The Capitalist Blues

You keep telling me
 To climb this ladder
 I've got to pay my dues
 But as I rise
 The stakes get higher
 I've got the capitalist blues
 And if I give everything
 I won't have much more to lose
 I am swimming in an ocean of sharks
 They are telling me how I'm gonna
 make
 My little mark
 In this cold, cold world
 It can be such a cold, cold world
 You keep telling me to go a little higher
 Try to take a different view
 But you can see
 I'm not inspired
 I've got the capitalist blues
 And if I give everyrthing
 I won't have much more to lose
 It's not fair, it's not right
 I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life
 It's not fair, it's not right
 I wasn't born to just endure all this strife
 Tryna make my way
 In this cold, cold world
 It can be such a cold, cold world
