Lyrics:
the last hope of the states
Because the captains of industry abandoned ship
And left the passengers all to drown
From their life rafts they waved, "It's been
beneath the rails
Here I lie
Entombed
Stack the bodies
I spent my whole life slaving
For the captains of industry
But no one dares to notice
Pistons and machinery
Steam and electricity
The Captains of industry
They live in fear of me
Sand in the gears
I'm a wrecker of engines
Canyons
Humans are made predators not prey
Yet somehow we are the first ones to say
Shit happens
Never mind
The Captains of Industry
Old men in musty boardrooms
of idolatry
With the captains of industry
Play the part and you'll go far
Kiss the hand that starves
They make their tyrants as they make their gods
They make
Cartel of robber barons
Captains of industry
Patronize
While you terrorize
Red lined scars
Bled them dry
Gentrify
As you commodify
Another sweep
A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers that be
To a God, a King, a head of state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers
I tip my hat to you
(I tip my hat to you)
Captains of industry
(Captains of industry)
You made me what I am
(Solid gold, solid gold)
A once
She reaches out her arms to me
Imploring: "Another melody?"
So she can dance her husband out on the floor
The captains of industry just lie there
She reaches out her arms to me
Imploring another melody
So she can dance her husband out on the floor
The captains of industry just
Lie there where
I have to confess
I've made my bed, I'll sleep in it
It's made with compromises
I'll toss and turn. I'll twist and shout
Captains of industry
She reaches out her arms to me
Imploring another melody
So she can dance her husband out on the floor
The captains of industry just
Lie there where
She reaches out her arms to me
Imploring "another melody?"
So she can dance her husband out on the floor
The captains of industry just lie there
Loyalty through the bad times and through good
The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad
But the captains of industry won't let him lose
Poisoning the common ground
Taking sins of farm and town
And bearing them away
The captains of industry
And their tools on the hill
They're killing
myself
The prophets of a brave new world
Captains of industry
Have visions grand and great designs
But none have room for me
They see a world
Captains of industry
Perform their alchemy
Turning life to death
And into cash machines
Just sign the contract, no strings attached
Like a broken
a rain of the dead confetti
The laughing stock of the karma corrupted emissaries
Captain of industry, partly magnet of larcen, arsony
Captured in
you at
I'm not on your map, I'm a mystery to you captains of industry
If the 'matic is missing me automatic, it's victory
Hey!
I'm the shit
incarceration,
While captains of industry take a vacation,
With my tax money backin they corporation!
We got to
Chase them crazy
Chase them crazy bal'heads
Chase
Spacetime continue aum
Return us home
Not on a throne
In our zone
Leave us alone
Where we ain't owned
You Captains of violent industry
Cowardice
Workfare foul air homeless beggars everywhere
Picture phone aristocrats lounge around the pool
Captains of industry smiling beneficently
Leaking hole
He was a captain of industry
He was a captain of the sea, oh
He was a gentle man
With cracks and lines across his hands, oh
Iron waves crashed
He was a captain of industry
He was a captain of the sea, oh.
He was a gentle man,
With cracks and lines across his hands, oh.
Iron waves
