Capital (It Fails Us Now) Lyrics
(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; comrades, let us seize the time! (I left it in my other suit!)
Capital it fails us now; comrades, let us seize the time!
On the first day of my life, I opened my eyes
Guess where?
In the superstore, surrounded by luxury goods
I need a freezer, I need a hi-fi
No credit no goods
Call my bank I say
They say we're bankrupt
Capital it fails us now; comrades, let us seize the time!
Capital it fails us now; comrades, let us seize the time!
Capital it fails us now (I reached out for my credit card)
Oh no! I left it in my other suit!
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit (Bankrupt!)
I'm still in credit, just (On the first day of my life, I opened my eyes)
One day old and I'm living on credit (Guess where? In a superstore)
One day old and I'm living on credit (Surrounded by luxury consumer miracles)
One day old and I'm living on credit (I need a freezer, I need a hi-fi, I need a microwave oven...)
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit
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; comrades, let us seize the time! (I left it in my other suit!)
Capital it fails us now; comrades, let us seize the time!
Guess where?
In the superstore, surrounded by luxury goods
I need a freezer, I need a hi-fi
Call my bank I say
They say we're bankrupt
Capital it fails us now; comrades, let us seize the time!
Capital it fails us now; comrades, let us seize the time!
Oh no! I left it in my other suit!
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit (Bankrupt!)
I'm still in credit, just (On the first day of my life, I opened my eyes)
One day old and I'm living on credit (Surrounded by luxury consumer miracles)
One day old and I'm living on credit (I need a freezer, I need a hi-fi, I need a microwave oven...)
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit

OH NO! I LEFT IT IN MY OTHER SUIT!
The first lyric is:
The first lyric is:
This is the story of my struggle. I'm not sure whether it's coincidence, sarcasm or what but My Struggle is Mein Kampf, the title of Adolf Hitler's autobiography. I think it's a fantastic song and it's probably just a coincidence. The song seems to be about Marx's theory of alienation with a sarky Debordist twist.

I believe it's, "I need a freezer, I need a hi-hi". The essentials, of course.
Also, they seem to be switching between "One day old and living on credit", and "One day all men are living on credit" - very clever twist.
Oops, it's "hi-fi"
Oops, it's "hi-fi"
These lyrics are ALL WRONG like they are on every other lyrics website. I can't believe this. At some point, some clueless person or thing write what sounded like the lyrics and then it just got copied to every other lyrics website. It's totally stupid sounding this way. It's sad and stupid how they make money off of b.s. that is not accurate.

@whateverstupid: I couldn't bear how bad it was, either, and fixed it (to the best of my abilities (missed some of the quieter mumbles near the end)).

@mumajor: I couldn't hear them say "all men are", so I took it out, even though it is a nice twist.

These are faulty lyrics!
