P.A. Holmes - 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
