Capitalist Myth

Blind Pigs
from São Paulo Chaos (1997)


Twenty-five, unemployed
with a college degree
Forty-five yet too old
for the company

Abandoned sons of capitalism
With shattered dreams
Learning the hard way that
Nothing is ever what it seems

Still you believe in the capitalist myth
To you it's a religion, the capitalist myth
But it'll leave you an orphan
Capitalist myth, capitalist myth

Selling their bodies
almost selling their soul
A plate of food a day
Becomes their only goal
