alistair hulett - dictatorship of capital lyrics

[verse 1]
you’re trying to tell me capital has won at last
anyone who’s not convinced has just been shown the door
you’re trying to tell me competition turns the wheels
smart money never deals in welfare anymore
survival of the fittest keeps the species strong
change is always painful but it doesn’t last too long
excuse me, my friend, i think you could be wrong

[chorus]
when some of us are free to rise
and some are free to fall
all of us are living under the dictatorship of capital

[verse 2]
you’re trying to tell me profit is the bottom linе
cancer is sometimes bеnign
it eats the cells that leave themselves defenseless
you’re trying to tell me market forces must prevail
some succeed, while others fail
failure has to face the consequences
weeding out the weak is mother nature’s song
existence is a game like chess, monopoly or mahjong
excuse me, friend, i think you could be wrong

[chorus]
when some of us are free to rise
and some are free to fall
all of us are living under the dictatorship of capital
[verse 3]
and it did not take me by surprise
when the revolution from above began to cave in
like a new town built by an architect no one wants to live in

[chorus]
when some of us are free to rise
and some are free to fall
all of us are living under the dictatorship of capital

[verse 4]
you’re trying to tell me i’m living in a democracy
everyone is always free
to live with ugliness or beauty
you’re trying to tell me undermining revolutions
when they threaten institutions
is a major powers democratic duty
with batista, marcos, pinochet you got along
but not with the sandanistas and not with the viet cong
excuse me friend i think you got it wrong

[chorus]
because when some of us are free to rise
and some are free to fall
all of us are living under the dictatorship of capital
all of us are living under the dictatorship of capital
all of us are living under the dictatorship of capital
