lirik lagu the spectre of capitalism – karma sutra (uk)
[verse 1]
stitch by stitch embroidered on our backs a tapestry of pain
who was it forged the links of the ghost of jacob marley’s chain?
t’was marley himself and there’s no one else to blame
his greed in life made death so sh*t
as tiny tim observed with such articulation
marley wet his bed and now he must sleep in it
brought great amus*m*nt to the work house
and was a constant source or so i’ve heard
of spontaneous titillation
spontaneous titillation
[verse 2]
link by link and yard by yard
guided of my own free will
and of my own free i will wear it
is its pattern strange to you?
our cultures quest for opulence
shackles and restraints
we have to recognize the links
if we wish to break the chain
[verse 3]
that is why this boy is ignorance and this girl is want
we’re fettered to the spectacle by the lethargy of custom
can’t you see?
[verse 4]
ebenezer, ebenezer, your time is running out
money merchant take sweet refuge in your counting house
bob crachit now begins to see, that this is our world too!
[verse 5]
still, we citizens of the world
still endorse the lie
generations blood and sweat
and never questioned why?
we pay homage to the masters
and rent unto the lords
we reinforce their status
and give them full control
to run our lives as they see fit
building castles from our pain
but if the truth be told we only
have ourselves that we can blame
the ghost of capitalism present
like a cloud around the sun
entrenches the world in chain
bless us everyone!
[instrumental]
