about

from the CD "Capital Dreams"

lyrics

Capital Dreams

we are the children of capital schemes
we hemorrhage interest dream capital dreams
and now the malls empty like ghost towns of old
cyberspace tumbleweeds all bought and sold
once the thing’s rolling it’s so hard to stop
and all of our rats own rooms at the top
and so a depression swims back into view
spinning in free fall now who has a clue

and i stand outside the inside
i stand where eagles won’t fly
i stand for no national anthem
i stand with beacons held high

we got our scapegoats religion and race
while everyone tells you class has no place
we all should be rich so if we are poor
that means we’re laggards and losers for sure
and we don’t make anything much anymore
though looters and scammers still scare up a score
so i can’t imagine where we go from here
hoping like moses a path will appear

and i stand outside the inside
i stand where eagles won’t fly
i stand for no national anthem
i stand with beacons held high

i heard them passing in packards of rust
nabobs of industry risen from dust
and i saw a hooverville burst into flame
and when i awoke so much looked the same


and i stand outside the inside
i stand where eagles won’t fly
i stand for no national anthem
i stand with beacons held high
i stand
