about

A song with a playful title that's about the enduring qualities of capitalism!

lyrics

I'll take your land, your gold, your gods
This feudal hand holds all you've got

Breaking my life, Breaking my mind
Suck on the bones of the weak to keep your engine running
Stuck in the rut, whip to my back
Flailing the flesh of the poor, the prey that you've been hunting

With tooth and nail, I'll never rest
I'll raid your shores until you're death

Toy with my life, wasting my time
You're grinding the bones of the weak to keep your engines running
Hung on the stocks, whip to my back
Smiling cat teeth pointing down to the prey that you've been hunting

Do I work the land, or does the land work me?
Do I work the land, or does the land work me?
Do I work the land, or does the land work me?

Breaking my life, Breaking my mind
Suck on the bones of the weak to keep your engine running
Stuck in the rut, whip to my back
Flailing the flesh of the poor SOMETHING you've been hunting

Toy with my life, wasting my time
You're grinding the bones of the weak to keep your engines running
Hung on the stocks, whip to my back
Smiling cat teeth pointing down to your medieval tummy
