Capitalism aint working. 
There are problems we gotta stop shirking. 
It's time for post-capitalism. Yes, comrades. 
Capitalism is cruel. We cannot let greed rule.

Capitalism is coercive. That is easy to see. 
It's based on the notion of private property.
Want shelter from the cold? That's not free. 
Every month you need to come up with a lot of money.
Capitalists withhold necessities so they can make
you work at jobs that you don't like and barely get a break.
They own all the land that you need to survive.
They use police to enforce laws that are made to deprive.
They want you to get a job. They don't care which one. 
Don't care if the job involves zero fun. 
As long as they get their money at month's end, 
they don't care how much energy you need to expend.
Get a job or starve. That is a threat.
There's no freedom under capitalism. Don't forget.
You may be free to choose from 30 toothbrushes at the store, 
but try to sleep in a park and watch the uproar.

You can't make people do things if they're not driven. 
Consent must be voluntarily given. 
It cannot be obtained through coercion or force.
Is capitalism coercive? Yes, of course.
You can't touch people without consent. 
We all agree that's right. No argument. 
But consent is crucial with the rest of life, too.
We can't make people work at jobs they don't want to do.
"We all need to contribute." Is that what you're saying?
Are you making statements people need to be obeying?
I've seen dumpsters full of edible food. 
Throwing food away contributes nothing, dude.
How many jobs are bullshit? Let's not be in denial. 
That's right, the whole system is now on trial. 
Pretending every job is necessary, 
is so delusional it's very scary.
The list of unnecessary jobs is long. 
More than could fit into any song. 
Let's share everything. We can get along. 
Charging money for necessities is wrong.
Don't make people toil at tasks they do not like, 
just so they don't have to sleep on a metal spike. 
Let's all work together for the common good. 
We are on the same team. Is that understood?

That smile you're receiving from an overworked cashier -
how can that fill anybody with cheer, 
when you know they're just smiling to avoid getting fired? 
They're not even allowed to sit down when they get tired.
Some dislike their jobs so much, they cry. 
How can we be so cruel? Please tell me why.
Some people work at two jobs or more, 
just for a chance to sleep on a floor.
Life is far more important than stuff.
No more greed. Enough is enough. 
You can't take anything with you when you die. 
By sharing, you can restore a twinkle to someone's eye.
Time is precious, and it breaks my heart, 
to see people being wage slaves when they'd rather make art.
People deserve to play without having to pay. 
If you are tired, it's okay to sleep the day away.
All jobs can be done by volunteers. 
People like contributing. Let go of your fears. 
Laziness is a myth. People like to help. 
They'll run to someone's need if they hear a yelp.
Let's end classism and come together. 
Imagine everybody feeling light as a feather.
No more worrying about money ever again.
It's time for post-capitalism. Amen.
