In This Economy

I want it all and I want it cheap I want it shipped in two days for free And maybe the workers don't get to sleep Or spend any time with their families But that's not my fault I need my things Don't need a job, they just need a gig To pay the bills until they automate it Until they're one of the billions left With nowhere to go and no reason to live What next? I'll be sorry I asked. Capital, our shared delusion The only thing we all believe in And I know that no one's lunch is free But it shouldn't be a fucking privilege to not have to go hungry It went to shit so gradually Nobody knows how it's supposed to be And one day we'll just have the BuzzFeed lists To recall what it was like when we were kids Forget the things that we gave up To get it faster or to save a buck It was us who invited them in It was us who invited them in It was us who invited them in It was us who invited them in Capital, our shared delusion The only thing we all believe in And I know that nothing comes for free But I just can't afford to live or die in this selfish fucking country I've been here before And it's just that what we're waiting on's not here And you'll miss it when it's gone, I know But we've got our whole damn lives to pay off all their fees
