The Capitalist Blues

G You keep telling me G To climb this ladder G I've got to pay my dues C But as I rise C The stakes get higher G I've got the capitalist blues D And if I give everything D G I won't have much more to lose G I am swimming in an ocean of sharks G They are telling me how I'm gonna make G My little mark C In this cold, cold world D It can be such a cold, cold world G You keep telling me to go a little higher G Try to take a different view C But you can see C I'm not inspired G I've got the capitalist blues D And if I give everything G I won't have much more to lose G It's not fair, it's not right G I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life G It's not fair, it's not right G I wasn't born to just endure all this strife G Tryna make my way C In this cold, cold world D It can be such a cold, cold world
