about

The art of flogging. A dead horse.

lyrics

It’s the end of the century, capitalism’s last grasp.
They built their house on shaky foundations,
Now the whole edifice is crumbling down around their ears.

They sell you money so you can keep on shopping;
A futile attempt to prop up a decayed system.
Capitalism: the art of flogging a dead horse.

Desperately trying to hang on to their power,
They bribe us with special offers, bargains, sales, reductions;
It won’t work; these dogs have had their day.

The end of the century, the end of capitalism.
These crooks, cheats, liars and frauds.

Capitalism: the cause of pollution.
Capitalism: it’s third world exploitation.
Capitalism: the creed of greed.
Capitalism: the art of flogging.
Capitalism: a dead horse.
