A speech disguised as a song, about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The society we live in relies on the fact that people will settle for minimum wage 9-5 jobs, almost slaving to the capitalist world we live in.

This song incorporates retaliative lyrics to fight this ideal, encouraging workers stick up for themselves.

Capital Machine

Lyrics:
It's funny how his life is changing
It's funny how he talks like its all gone to plan, but now
He's falling apart at the seams

It's funny how his dreams are dreaming
It's funny how he thought it would all work out somehow
But that was all behind the scenes

And how could he be more than he should be
When he's all on his own
With no place to go
And he'd say things like

'I don't know how my heads screwed on
I'm only nineteen, my eldest is three, well that couldn't be
And she would always say to me that she'd stay forever
Please don't come any closer
Gone, I know that she's gone, but life goes on

But it doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
What kind of man would I be

It doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
Funny how I couldn't see
That you were no good for me'

Its funny how her mindset's changing
Its funny how she talks to herself like its justified
But that was never how it felt

Its funny how her demon's dreaming
Its funny how she thought that he would be satisfied
She didn't know his heart would melt

And she couldn't be more than she should be
Cause she's all on her own
With no place to go
And she'd say things like

'I don't know how my heads screwed on
I'm only nineteen, my eldest is three, well that couldn't be'
And they would always say to me that she'd stay together
'Please don't come any closer'
Gone, I know that they're gone, but 'life goes on

But it doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
What kind of people are we

It doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
It doesn't go on for me
Funny how I couldn't see
That they were no good for me'
