Gang Of Four - Capital (It Fails Us Now) Lyrics
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
Comrade let us seize the time
(I left it in my other suit!)
On the first day of my life
I opened my eyes
Guess where?
With superstars
Surrounded by luxury goods
I need a hi-fi
No credit, no goods
Call my bank, I say
They say "we're bankrupt"
Capital, it fails us now
Come out, 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
(I'm selling credit, just)
One day old and I'm living on credit
([unintelligle] at a superstore)
One day old and I'm living on credit
One day old and I'm living on credit
[unintelligible chant and response between Gill and King here]

Gang Of Four Capital (It Fails Us Now) Comments
We can handle failing to this.
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
Comrade let us seize the time
(I left it in my other suit!)
On the first day of my life
I opened my eyes
Guess where?
With superstars
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
Come out, let us seize the time
Capital, it fails us now
Comrades, let us seize the time
I had this record on vinyl. NYC I was 13 years old in 1981.
Bruilliant and pertinent
legendary.

31 years old and these lyrics are as relevant as ever!

Probably more so.
