This is the story of my struggle...

The moment I was born I opened my eyes
I reached out for my credit card
Oh no! I left it in my other suit!
capital it fails us now come and let us seize the time
capital it fails us now come and let us seize the time
on the first day of my life I opened my eyes
guess where!? in a superstore.
surrounded by luxury goods
I need a visa. I need a hi-fi.
no credit no goods
come on back I say
they say we're bankrupt
capital it fails us now come and let us seize the time
capital it fails us now come and let us seize the time
Capital it fails us now
Scientists blame it on pollution
People are not very happy
This is caused by alienation
oh no! I left it in my other suit!
one day old and I'm living on credit

one day all will be living on credit
