lyrics

TL;DR - profit proliferates.

Capital cancer, the big C

It's in the car sourced from cheap Chinese steel
driven on my own, given with a loan which clamps my wheels
to this cracked black trickle of tarmac which I crawl along most days
to feel able, to stay stable, to pay my way

It's in the ironic cycle of consumption and desire
it's in our fabric, in our tablets, in the objects of our ire

we're born with capital cancer
we struggle for the answer whilst our questions fade away
we use the tools of the master
to chip at cracks in plaster
whilst wealth dictates our days

and at the last
when all is ash
we'll find capital cancer
the big C


We are indebted to Audre Lorde for her 'master's tools' way of thinking about radical change. Audre Lorde was fucking fantastic and she can show you a lot about your life.
