Leyla McCalla - The capitalist blues

^GYou keep telling me ^GTo climb this ladder ^GI've got to pay my dues ^CBut as I rise ^CThe stakes get higher ^GI've got the capitalist blues And if ^DI give everything ^DI won't have much more to l^Gose

^GI am swimming in an ocean of sharks ^GThey are telling me how I'm gonna make ^GMy little mark ^CIn this cold, cold world It can be such a ^Dcold, cold world

^GYou keep telling me to go a little higher ^GTry to take a different view ^CBut you can see ^CI'm not inspired ^GI've got the capitalist blues And if ^DI give everything I won't have much more to ^Glose

^GIt's not fair, it's not right ^GI don't know what I'm gonna do with my life ^GIt's not fair, it's not right ^GI wasn't born to just endure all this strife ^GTryna make my way In this ^Ccold, cold world It can be such a ^Dcold, cold world
