Captains of Industry Songtext

von Joel Plaskett

Floodlights shine from motion detectors
They know that we're out here, they know that we're out here
The truth is a minefield and they're the defectors
They know that we're out here

Beyond the frame and outside the margins
Don't know where we're going but I know that we're gone
We scour the city, the streets and the gardens
And everything's wrong

The captains of industry are driving us home
Selling us lies, tapping our phone
Shaking us down and we don't even know it
If you want real love, show it

Some people got luck, some people got money
Some people get stuck, a stick in the spokes
If you got nothing they look at you funny
Oh, this ain't a joke

The captains of industry are driving us home
Selling us lies, tapping our phone
Shaking us down and we don't even know it
If you want real love, show it
